My mother was born here in Number 55 Osborne Road. Her surname was Bryant. My grandad was a watchmaker and owned the watchmaker's shop in Osbourne Road. I spent many a holiday as a child in the 1950s. Happy times.

RE: RE: Memories of Osbourne Road, Pontypool

I lived at 63 Osbourne Road with my mum, brother and nanny Jones. On one side of us was the Rowlands family, the other was the Booths. My father worked at Westons biscuit factory. My brother and I went to George Street school. Due to a lack of work, my father moved to Birmingham. Had a cousin that worked at the Free Press. Finally we moved up to Birmingham, but spent school holidays with my cousins in Cwmbran or up at the Varteg, oh happy days...
