My mother
I am trying to create the memories that I don't have of my mother Ethel Lewis who was born in 1924 and lived at 58 Mount Pleasant, Merthyr Vale. I know she attended the primary school which is a couple of minutes' walk away.
If anyone has any information or memories of this era I would be really interested.
