How The Times Have Changed.
I'm still living here today, a few streets have now disappeared, Wood Street and a lot of Bridgend Road as well as some local landmarks like the Ambulance Hall (The rink) and more recently the Ffaldau Hotel; but it's strange trying to imagine how life must have been back then. Much more community spirit then, the good old days when the front door was never locked and everyone looked out for each other. The times have obviously changed; Not necessarily for the better.

RE: RE: How The Times Have Changed.
I live in Shirley, Solihull, West Midlands, which is just 10 miles from the NEC near the airport. I haven't been back to Ponty lately, my mother died in 1981. Her grave is in the local top of the mountain graveyard. I used to go down to check how the grave was, the last time I went there had been damage done by local yobs, and I had to replace the head-stone. I then went to Tondu to visit an old very good friend who lived there, Harold James, who used to live at 118 Oxford Street. I can't say I remember Charles Trevelyan. It is now April 5th 2010.
