Walks to Morlais

Morlais Castle c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I was about 14 and my friend Alan Davies and I used to walk from Twynyrodyn on a Sunday morning to Morlais Castle. There we would wonder and speculate about its history and what battles were fought there. How many people died and on what spot. Were we standing on a patch of ground that had seen blood and gore?

That was a glorious summer in Merthyr as I remember it.

Bontnewtdd Hotel Trelewis

My Great Great grandfather used to manage or own this hotel in 1911. His name was John Green and his wife was Elizabeth Green, my great grandmother, (their daughter) was Verena Green. If anybody has any information on them I would love to hear it.
