Happy days
I lived in Nelson from the age of 3. I was born in 1954 so I arrived there 1957. I lived in the prefabs at 9 St Johns Lane, until I moved to 27 Brycelyn Ave when they decided they wanted to pull the prefabs down. I went to both schools in Nelson and went on to Lewis Girls' Grammer until I was 16yrs old. I have fond memories of Ricci's cafe where we would go and play pinball machines and drink hot blackcurrant juice. I remember there was a youth club in the school twice a week (I think). We would go to Phil's fish shop for a bag of chips on the way home and sit in the bus ...read more here

Good old years
I was born in Mountain Ash, my nan was Mrs Florence Huntley of 74 Penrhiwceiber Road. My parents are Violet Huntley and Les Jones, we used to live in Harcourt Terrace, Penrhiwceiber. I spent all my holidays with my nan as we now live in the Midlands and even to this day I miss the people and the place. My nan cleaned the school, she lived next to curtis greengrocery shop. I remember Willises shop and the paddling pool. We had great fun there. We used to play in the old pithead baths of Cwmcynon colliery and go with our friends to Rosie's Cafe. I'm so glad to see someone keeping our heritage alive and well.
