By the way,what a beautiful,peacefull place.Shame about the power lines.Cheers! email;aussiecelt@westnet.com.au
My First Visit to Penmark
I know this as Kenson Cottage as my mother lived there and went to school in Penmark. I have a photo which was taken when we all went on holiday of us all on the bridge. I still have family living in the area and enjoy going back to visit. My grandfather worked in Aberthaw cement works which is why the moved there from Kent. I am working on my family tree and would like any information about Penmark school in the early 1900s as my mother and aunt went there, their surname was Verrall. If you have any memories to share I would welcome them. Thankyou.
