Graig Y Meched
Hi Elaine. I enjoyed reading your memories of Graig -y-Merched, I have wonderful memories of the area, I grew up on Tan-y-Wern lane and attended the Wern school and the Ystalyfera Grammar School. My grandparents lived on Cyfyng Road but they owned a field that abutted the Graig, I spent many a summer day sliding on cardboard, and also picking blackberries and enjoyed the tart and custard afterwards. My grandmother was related to a family named Lewis, I remember the names Maureen and Pat, and also a woman that I called Auntie Maggie, she was my grandmother's cousin, I was wondering if you knew that family? Sheena.

RE: RE: Graig Y Meched
Hello there, cousin! I do not know the people mentioned from when I lived in Ystalyfera, now live in Vancouver, B.C, Canada. I remember being allowed to stay up very late to watch Stirling Moss and Barry Appleby (Giles) refuel at your father's (Tudor Evans) service station. They were competing in some kind of Around Britain Car Rally! We played together - I lived on Clare Road - and we went to the same schools. It scares me to think I rode my bicycle down Tan-Y-Wern Lane which was very steep. Kind regards, Mairona Liston (Mair(ona) Williams that was).
