Gellideg Isaf Farm
I was born in 1958, onto the farm namely Gellideg Isaf of which now sadly only the farm house exists. The farm in 1958 did have some twenty one acres, and as I got to the age of eight I started to help my parents with the hay making during the hot summer months. I have great memories of people from all over the village, who would come and join in, to be rewarded with cider and Welsh cakes after they had done the hard work. These were great days, which will always remain in my memory. Thanks to my parents (Malcolm & Milly).

My great grandmother
It's not a memory of mine but, she was my great grandmother and I am not sure of her first name although I know her surname was Powell. She was a mother to grandad, who's life so tragically ended, she died in a fire, a caravan fire, in Hengoed. I would like to know about her, and would like even to know her name and where she is buried.
I believe that everyone should be remembered and I think that I am the only one who wants to remember.
