Thoughts From Long Ago

I've put the year as 1949 but I was born in 1947 at the Ashtree Houses, number 3, the one with the tap outside. I went to the Varteg Infant School, not for long though as we moved to Coventry in the early 1950s. There was Mam, Dad, brothers Emrys, Graham, Billy, myself and my youngest brother Granville. We had relatives in Blaenavon and Tinklers and Bates and Jones's and Bates on the Garn. When we left Wales we lived on the corner of PembrookTerrace and Salisbury Teerace. Had a great time living there. Old Mrs Fluke lived in the row, also the Smallcomes and Webbs. Mrs Fluke had Ivor Williams living with her, he also moved to Coventry. If you think you know me or any of the names I've written about I would be glad to here from you. PS I was the steward of the Garn Workingmens Club if that helps. From April 1978 till December 1979.
