Ogmore Vale

Goodness! Reading all these wonderful memories of others living in Ogmore, reminds me of mine ... I remember visiting the Workmen's Hall cinema and all the 'old' movies - Dambusters, Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin! - how strange that it all seems just like yesterday! My parents came to the Valleys from Europe in 1948 and eventually settled in, making new friends with the Valley residents. My first memories are of the Co-op on High Street! and my first friend, Megan Jones, in Cemetery Road. Hi, Megan! We lived in Alma Terrace until emigrating to Sydney, Australia in 1963 ... My brother and I have never forgotten Ogmore ... We don't get to visit often, but it's always in our heart ...

RE: RE: Ogmore Vale

Hi Kris. I read your comments with interest. I know you friend Megan, her daughter was in school with my daughter. Did you have a brother Michael? If so, I was in the same class in Tynewydd. Was your surname Smetana? I lived in Lewistown. Regards Gareth Hopkins.
