Childhood Days In Cwm

A Memory of Cwm.

I was born in Cwm went to school there and have happy memories of playing with Brian Evans, Eric Hughes, William John Roberts, Gareth Hughes and many others. Our cricket pitch was by the slate quarry tips in Swch and the football field was anywhere there was enough room to kick a ball.

I went to Llanrwst Grammar School, left at 16 and went to work in the Forestry Commission until I was called up to the army in 1955. My parents moved to Liverpool during my time in the army and that was the last I saw of Cwm for many a year.

My family and I went back there in 1978 (at this time we are living in Australia)and found the place changed considerably. There weren't many people I recognised!

At the moment I trying to find some of the children that played together in the early 1950s, but no luck so far.
