I was born in Nantyffllon but came to live in 66 Commecial Street (the Lodging House) and can remember Leslies when I shopped with my mum. My ancestors lived at The Old Engine House, Cwumdu in 1828. Does anyone know where this was, or if it is still a landmark?

RE: RE: Shopping With Mum

I remember Leslies well, and Edwards and Hill who were next door, a rather dark and dingy Chemists shop (whose name I remember but it's slipped my memory right now) near there and Teesdale's the fruitrers. So many happy memories. The sun used to shine often in Maesteg. We had seasons in those days - snowy winters, spring, beautiful summers and lovely autumns. Great days. I knew Cwumdu to a small extent but know nothing of the Old Engine House, I'm sorry.
