Memories of Powys

Lugg Bridge on England /Wales Border

I remember being a member of the Youth Club and being able to launch our canoes from the riverbank on the Welsh side of the bridge. If you visit now you will find that someone has added the site to their garden!

Bootle Evacuee

I was evacuated to Llangunllo after the Liverpool Blitz in 1941 and stayed with Mr and Mr's George Lloyd in a house named "Larch Grove". I have very fond memories of those folk. I live in Canada now, since 1957.

The Crossgates Gang

I have many memories of growing up in Crossgates between the years of 1964 through to the late 1970s. We were the original Railway Children. I am interested in the previous posting ref Ernie Lewis at Builth Road station as my grandfather was Ernest Lewis and was at the Station Cottage at the crossing at Llandrindod. Ian Collins

Bill Brown

I remember Bill Brown from the days when he ran the local cinema in the Norton Arms ballroom and later at the cinema he built just off the carpark. He also captured many scenes in Knighton with his cameras. I don't know if he is still around, but what a wealth of memories he must have stored away.
I also remember Knighton when I worked after school and on Saturdays as a delivery boy for J. L. Allcock in the days when there were hundreds of people in the street on a market day (Thursday) and halfday closing was a Friday. How it has changed. I guess that's progress.

War Years

I remember the Taylor family, Mum, John and Marian (no longer with us) coming to stay with us in Liverpool. My mum was from Lloyney and knew them well. Harold Taylor was on a ship docked in Liverpool so they stayed with us so they could see him, I was quite young but remember it well. I spent the Second World War years with Mona Cadwallader in Knighton, my brothers stayed in Lloyney.
