The Woodbine

I was born and brought up at "The Woodbine" which was next door to Peniel Chapel. Living in Pontlliw was such a great experience but sadly I have not been back in many many years. Would love to see some more old photgraphs of the village.

Abergwenlais

My family lived in Pontlliw for several generations.

Happy Days

I was thrilled to see your photo of Cecil Road as the houses on the left are in Hill Street and my Grandmother lived at number 2, the left hand house.
I have very Happy Memories of holidays with 'Mam' at Hill Street. My Dad, Dudley Williams was born a Hill Street along with his 7 siblings. The Williams family were very much a part of Gowerton life at the turn of the last century. My Great Grandfather, John Williams, lived in Church Street and raised 10 children. He was very involved in the local Baptist Chapel and all aspects of local life. My Grandmother's family ran Thomas butchers, on the corner of Sterry Road opposite the Gower Inn, also featured in your photos so this has been a very enjoyable visit to your web page.
