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 |

 Talley, Lakes and Abbey 1936 (ref: 87713) |
Year: 1964
My family memories A memory of Talley, Dyfed My great grandparents, John and Margaret Williams, lived at Llansadwrn and they and my grandparents are buried in the Church Yard at Talley. My grandparents, Evan and Florence (Dolly) Williams lived at Dan y Graig. Many happy days spent there with them in the 60's. My grandmother worked very hard to make ends meet as unfortunately my grandfather, who had seen active service in the trenches during the first world war, had been badly scarred by his experiences and sadly drank to excess. I believe that my grandfather, an ex policeman, was the village postman at some stage. I have visited Talley recently and the old road around to the church is still as I remember it, but sadly as with many other lovely old villages, a horrible big road runs through the middle of it. My grandparents were very friendly with "Annie Cwmdu" who ran the pub and we used to visit her a lot. Oh such happy days..... Posted: 20/10/2006 16:39 by Mary Owen |

 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.

Year: 1890s
Looking for my Grandfather A memory of Brynamman, Dyfed I'm doing some research into my Family History and am trying to trace the place my Grandfather was born in 1892. His Name was William Thomas (Willie Tom) Born in June 1892 to Evan Evans & Mary Evans formerly Jones. He was Born at Penybont, Brynamman, Quarter Bach. When I last visited the area no one could tell me wher Penybont or Quarter Bach would be. If anyone can enlighten me please e mail me at gorslasboy@blueyonder.co.uk and if possible giving directions from Gwaun Cae Gurwen. Many thanks. Cliff Evans. Posted: 27/01/2008 00:34 by Cliff Evans |

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 |
