Porthcawl
My best memories of Porthcawl are when my gran (Mrs Gwen Ware) was alive, she lived at Elm Cottage, in New Road. I was very young in the early 1970s to the very early 1980s.
Grampy used to take me to the park and Coney Beach, and every Christmas there used to be a Christmas tree in the centre of the New Road roundabout.
Used to go out in their car up along the prom and to Rest Bay.
Gran's friend nearby was Thelma Kelly who lived opposite and at the end of the drive was Jim's fish and chip shop. And there was a hairdressers on the corner run by Kathleen. I also remember a pet shop and an ironmongers, and in John's Street a police station, Lees supermarket and Woolworths.
