Share your own memories of Blackweir and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Machen Forge

I'm starting to track my father's family history. I believe an aunt and uncle of mine lived at the rear of the Machen Forge. My father's family lived in Blackweir and several were employed on the Glamorganshire canal as lock keepers and weighbridge operators.

Machen Forge Blackweir Cardiff

My grandmother ran a pub called the Machen Forge in Blackweir and my mother has told me about when she was a young girl growing up there. The canel ran along the side of the pub. I would love to know if there are any photos of it.
