Barry, the Old Village 1899 (ref: 43455)
Year: 1955 Zena
I remember these cottages. A girl my own age lived in one of them. Her name was, "Zena."
They were, very sadly, demolished, some years ago.
Cadoxton school is just across the road from where these lovely little cottages were situated.

  Year: 1900s Inspector William Hole
Does anybody remember my Great-grandfather on my Father's sdie of the family, Police Inspector William Hole? He had a few children, one being my grandfather Walter Trevor Hole, another being Police Sergeant Harry Hole. I know William Hole was in the Tonypandy Riots as a Policeman and Harry Hole was a Policeman in Tonypandy sometime after 1935, as my father remembers him.
I would be greatful for any memories people are prepared to share with me.
Sincerely,
Caroline Scott.
