Ex Garw Man
I was born in 193 Oxford Street, Pontycymer in 1935. I left to go into the army for National Service at the age of 18 in 1954. I returned for just 1 year in 1956 when I returned to the Midlands, to Birmingham. The house I lived in was the Morris's shop opposite the chapel and at the top of the hill leading to Blandy Park football ground. My grandmother and aunt ran the shop. I now live in Shirley, Solihull. I haven't been back to the Garw for 8 years as travelling by car is a bit past me now. I still drive an auto V/W Polo car While in Ponty I worked 1956 on the buses, conducting on the Western Welsh.
