A Memory of Porth-y-waen.
Porthywaen born and bred, lived at the Gate House for nearly 30 years with Mum Dad and 2 Brothers, Dad lived there most of his life he was born next door at Yew Tree Cottage in 1940 his father worked in the quarries and some very interesting stories have been passed down. Went to porthywaen school between 1975 and 1981.... no central heating in there just a big roaring coal fire either end of the classroom, can remember the train passing every morning with a load of stone from Llanddu quarry . I still love to go and have a walk around Llynclys hill and the woods in the quarry where we used to go as kids on our bikes with the local lads. Fond memories!
