Gwent memories
Round House
My Father Henry (Jim) Griffiths lived with his eight brothers and sisters in the Round house, which I think was up the ally next to the Postoffice. His mother was Alice Griffiths, she brought up all these children on her own. I wonder if anyone has a photo of the round house?
Raglan - Castle Street
My childhood memories of Raglan are indelible in my mind. I lived with my Aunt and Uncle (Bessie and Ernie Morgan) at No 3 Castle Street during the war years. I well remember my first day at school, sitting on the obelisk at the junction of Chepstow Road, being chased by the geese down the Chepstow Road, 'helping' my uncle pump the organ, the harvest festivals, Roy Silverthorne's voice resounding around the church, sergeant Needs and his alsation, the brook, the castle, the wonderful smell of Mrs Hook's and the Powells bakery, Rhwylas farm, which is totally responsible for my love of dairy farming (although I was born 17 miles out of London). So it was through Rhwylas farm that I find myself in Australia, via New Zealand ...but that's another story. By the way, I never made it as a farmer! Wonderful, wonderful memories.
Robert Faulkes
Hi, my name is Mel Faulkes and I'm looking for any family Robert had in Rockfield as I see he died in the old mill lodge, Rockfield, am I right in thinking this was a care home or not? The other address I had was 103 Rockfield Avenue. He was born in Burgh in Norfolk and he was my grt-grt-grandad's brother. I don't seem to know alot about him part from army records. If any one knew him or the family it would be lovely to hear from you. Best wishes, Mel Faulkes
My Dad in The Mill
My dad Albert Joseph Harris and mum Brenda Mary used the mill as a machine shop, manufacturing small parts for Morris, Frances Barnett, Triumph, Norton and others. We lived in Redbrook in the now guest house on the corner of Coleford Hill and the A466, the house's name was/is Inglewood, the date above is aproximate. Isn't it shame you haven't got an old picture of Inglewood. My earliest is about 1956. Regards, Roger
School Days.
My husband Stan went to Hendre, it is now a golf course. He told us he went to school in a mansion house owned by Rolls Royce family. Fab grounds etc. My son William took us to see it. Stan went there because he would not go to school. Going from Caerau to there would have been a culture shock.
Davis Family
My great-grandmother Margaret Adams, according to the Census of 1891, lived with the Davis family as a servant. The address was Bird Cottage, Main Road. I just wondered if anyone had any information? The Davis family comprised of Robert and Clara, with their children Thom (3) Mary (2) and Eleanor (7 months) and also Elizabeth Crunk, aged 72, who I would imagine is the mother in law.
