Great Days

A Memory of Fochriw.

I think it was about 1967, we moved down from Wallasey, Merseyside to number 7 Williams Row, miners cottages at the top of Guest Street. I remember my first day at Fochriw Infants, it was like a whole new beginning, made some new friends. Great times, the memories, the tin bath in front of the open fire, the back garden, a big open field with slack heaps that me and my bro would run up and down for hours, the wrought iron tin shack (shop) at the bottom of the hill for penny sweets, the chapel on Sunday for Sunday school - wouldn't say "boo" to the Sunday school teacher - very strict. GREAT DAYS.
