My Dad
A Memory of Cwm.
My wonderful dad passed away last October. He was born in Cwm in 1934 and left aound 1955 when he moved to Corby, Northants. he was so very proud of his welsh roots and was over the moon when we took him back to Cwm a couple of years ago and he visited all the places that meant so much to him: the church my parents were married at, Marine Street where he was born and the cemetery (one of the prettiest I have ever been to ) to visit the graves of his parents and grandparents. His name was Clifford Walters, his mum re married after his father died to Gaff Weeks and he had two sisters Eileen and Kathleen. I would love to hear from anyone that knew them or has any pictures of the family. I spent some childhood holidays in Cwm with my great aunt and uncle, Else and Billy Wicks, happy memories.
