Nostalgic memories of Cefneithin's local history

Share your own memories of Cefneithin 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.

Isaac And Magretta Griffiths.
I am the granddaughter of Isaac and Magretta who are both buried at Tabernacle. My father was Ieuan, brother to David Glamor, Luther, Elfed, Royston and Dougwell. They all moved to the Midlands in the late 1930’s. My great grandparents, Asa Jones and his wife, together with one of their sons are also buried at Tabernacle. Nana told me her grandfather was a preacher, I think his name was John Evans. I’ve ...see more

He then met my grandmother Eileen and had three children, my mother ...see more

Cefneithin School
I used to live in Is y Llyn and I attended Cefneithin School until I was 9 years old. In the school yard under the shelter there used to be a wooden board which we used to run at and we used to pull ourselves to the top of the board and then slide back down it. I also remember there used to be a stuffed owl in a glass case in one of the classrooms, I never understood why it was in a glass case. I enjoyed my time at the school very much. Yvonne (nee Evans)

Isaac And Magretta Griffiths
My grandparents, who lived in Cross Hands and later in Trimsaren until 1939, are both buried at Tabernacle, Cefneithin, along with my great grandparents, Asah and Mary Jones. My other great grandparents were David and Sarah Griffiths. I'm trying to find out more about my family history and any members of the family who are still alive. My Nanna also told me that her grandfather was a minister named John Evans and I would also like to learn more about him.
