Bargoed, 1956-78
I lived at 31 East View, from 1956 until I went to college. I was the son of Edgar Howells and Myfannwy [in fact they were my guardians from 1956 onwards]. My story really unfolded big style in 1992-2001, and I made some fantastic discoveries.The story can be found on HTTP://art-science.com/agfhs/d_auer.html Dave Howells.

Year: 1941
Wartime Bargoed
In February 1942, I and thirty other children from Northfield in Birmingham, were evacuated to Bargoed. I was taken in by Mrs Parker, who lived with her husband and Daughter, Phyliss, at 8 Plasnewydd Street. My life in Bargoed was idylic, I had great friends at Bargoed Inf and Junior School, I had the Graig to play on and so much space, it was out of this world. Maybe I will return to Bargoed for a short visit. The only thing that stops me is my memories of this quiet bit of heaven may be shattered. My heart will always remain in Bargoed, God's little acre. Thank you Bargoed and all your wonderful people. Last edited: 07/09/2006 18:34 by Gerald Hardware |

Sliding A memory of Aberbargoed, Mid Glamorgan I remember sliding down the quarry on Markham Road. When I got to the bottom a man gave me a clout for being so daft. I bet he would not get away with it nowadays. Last edited: 05/09/2007 10:31 by Lyndon Gingell |

Swimming A memory of Aberbargoed, Mid Glamorgan Nearly forgot about the quarry on the Markham road. Lucky to be still alive with all the dead sheep in there. Last edited: 26/06/2007 15:05 by Tony Williams |

1970-1980 A memory of Aberbargoed, Mid Glamorgan Loved the youth club on Pant Street . Also the gym with boxing, weights, football, judo etc. The snooker hall was great and the famous cafe Aserattis Gattis with the pinball, wurlittzer, bottles of coke and the steamed pies. And the annual Balfour Barry trips. What a life. Last edited: 26/06/2007 16:08 by Tony Williams |
