Year: 1959
Growing up in Caerbryn A memory of Caerbryn, Dyfed I was born in Caerbryn in 1949 and I lived at 4 Caerbryn Terrace along at that time with my granny and grandad, mum and dad and my sister Gill who is thirteen months older than me. The terrace was then just the twenty houses and we knew all of our neighbours. In 1951 the twins Malcom and Judith were born, 1957 Caroline was born and in 1958 Ricahrd was born. I have happy memories of growing up there as we were free to play outside as we grew up. We used to climb up the Old Colliery tip, go down the Felin in the summer time and run about in the fields. But today all those features are gone as when the Open Cast Miming company came to caerbryn in the 1970s ormaybe later the Tip disappeared, the felin disappeared and the field became a football pitch. Happy memories though Posted: 15/09/2007 11:13 by First Name Last Name |

Year: 1900s
My Great Granddad and Grandmother A memory of Garnant, Dyfed Hello to all. I am looking into my family history. I know my grandfather, William John Palmer, was born at Garnant on 27 October 1904, his parents are listed as Hannah Palmer, formerly Thomas, and James Palmer, Engine Driver in Colliery. They resided at Garnand Hill, Garnant. Could anyone give me any other information about them? If anyone there is related to me or knows my family line I would love to hear from you. Or photos of the time. I was adopted when my mother died so this is a long road for me to travel. Many thanks. Ann Last edited: 25/03/2008 09:45 by Ann Shaw |

 Llanelli, Parc Howard c1965 (ref: L73090) |
Year: 1968
A view from the band stand A memory of Llanelli, Dyfed I was born in 1965, the year the photo was taken and at the time my dad was a gardener at Parc Howard. I remember going to visit him almost every day, in the summer months, with either my grandmother or mother. This was a very familiar view taken from the band stand. After what felt like hours of playing I would be taken to the cafe and bought sweets from a large select behind a glass cabinet. Often we would go up the hill (to the left in the photo) to watch the old men play bowls and as I grew older I would play on the putting green. Posted: 19/11/2006 20:07 by David Charles |

 Brynamman, Aelwyd Amanw c1955 (ref: B471005) |
Aelwyd Amanw A memory of Brynamman, Dyfed This is a photo of Aelwyd Amanw, Brynaman. Brynaman was the first place in Wales to have its own building for running a branch of Urdd Gobaith Cymru. Although a branch of Urdd Gobaith Cymru had been established in the village since 1928, the Aelwyd was officially opened on Saturday, May 6th 1939 by Syr Ifan ab Owen Edwards who had founded the organisation back in 1922. Various members of my family have been involved with this Welsh language organisation since the 1920s, with my own involvement starting in 1961 and continuing until the present. The building has recently been refurbished and it is a focal point for many activities in the village, but is still primarily a centre for Urdd Gobaith Cymru.
