Powys memories
Going to School in Staylittle
I attended the primary school in Staylittle and was one of the last children there when it closed down, I think in the end there were only 7 or 8 of us. I came from the village of Llwyn y gog which at the time was the Forestry Commission village. I have found memories of Mrs Jones our teacher, I also remember Mr Roberts the headmaster with his red wild hair! We used to stand in a line by the piano every morning for our little assembly and if it was our birthday Mr Roberts used to put us on his one knee and after all the school had sang 'Happy Birthday' to us he would give us little smacks instead of the bumps, my God that would nener happen now. I also remember having to go across the road to the canteen for our lunch no matter what the weather, we would go in twos across the road, my partner was always Arwel Griffes (who now farms in the...

Growing up
I attended Llanidloes Glandwr School beginning in 1945. I have some fond memories of this school. However, many of the memories were not of the good variety, such as going to the Headmaster Mr. Morris to be punished (the cane) for some childish misdemeanor. For some reason we nicknamed Mr. Morris "Chump". If we learned nothing else from him, we learned about gardening. Much of our school time was taken up by gardening. I don't know what happened to the produce. We certainly got none of it. At the appropriate age we arrived at Llanidloes Grammar School. It was here that I made many friends from town and the surrounding villages. The school day began with Assembly. Mr Rogers the Headmaster led the service, with readings by the Prefects. Assembly was held across the road in what we called the "Crow's Nest". This nickname was occasioned by the fact that a pair of jackdaws had once nested in the... Read more
Evans From Caersws
My husband's family came from Main Street, Caersws, their name was Evans, does anyone remember them, and could help me find any one that knew them?
Days Gone by
Attended Sunday school in the village school in the 1950s, and went to church sometimes, too. All a very long time ago of course, bearing in mind today is the 1st of January 2008. 2 sets of Grandparents, and at least 25 other relatives are resting in the churchyard, some quite close to the entrance.
Dolcorsllwyn Hall
Dolcorsllwyn Hall is an imposing, Elizabethan-style , family mansion, situated on the banks of the River Dovey between the villages Cemmaes Road and Mallwyd. The Hall is situated in its own grounds with access via a short tree-lined drive from the main road. At its entrance is the privately owned Old Coach House. The Hall is now owned by the trustees of the Dolcorsllwyn Hall Association and used as a residential centre for Merseyside children. My memories of Dolly Hall go back to the 1960s and 1970s when I accompanied parties of children from Brookfield School, Kirkby. It was an ideal centre for studying Biology (my subject), Geography, and Local History. Visits included the seaside resorts of Aberystwyth and Aberdovey; the rural town of Machynlleth; the villages of Mallwyd and Cemmaes Road, and the Cader Idris mountain. Mallwyd was an interesting place - its parish church had a whale bone (found in the River Dovey) above its entrance. Nearby is... Read more
Wartime in Macynlleth
I don't suppose there are many of us left now! I was an evacuee, and attended the County School. I was there for four years. How I remember the photographs of Maengwyn Street, Penrallt Street and the town clock - where the farmers used to congregate on Saturday afternoon and evening. The wooden benches at the front of the Powys cinema which cost 6d (when we had the money). Running to school (always late), with the headmaster shouting through the laboratory window "come along people". My surname was Williams, in those days. I remember the Americans parading through the streets, they threw sweets and oranges for the children. I have visited twice since my return home. I found the place to be bigger, and I did not see anyone I would recognise.
My Life in The 50's & Early 60's
I was the last of our family ( the Panto's ) to be born at Ceinws Villa, now Ceinws Bach I believe, on the 6th Nov 1947. my taid. mother and I moved to Tai Isa' just after nain died.I went to school in Corris and then Mach. I remember the great exitment when Ael y Bryn were built & we had # 20. We used to play knock off ginger there and jump over the fence, down the field, over afon Glesyrch and up to the camp.We were fit !! By then my mother had married and soon I had 2 sisters and later on a little brother. My taid was the postman there for many years.There is an excellent book written about the village by Julia & her husband with some fantastic pictures as well.I'm sure most of the village would have starved in the 50's without the help & support of the small shop ran by Nora. We were all poor and all would go to the... Read more
