St John’s Street

A Memory of Ogmore Vale.

I have many fantastic memories of visiting my grandparents, aunties and uncles, cousins who lived and still live there. My Bampi worked in the butchers at the top of the hill, My hero, my dad, was a butcher as well but he also worked at the Co-op. My dad used to take me on walks up the Bwlch , we used to go swimming at the swimming pool on a Saturday morning with my cousins , get chips from the chippy and go back to my Bambi’s to eat them . Such happy memories. Three of my uncles still live in the valley. Loved staying with my Aunty and Uncle in the summer holidays, never wanted to go home. Loved the atmosphere and the people of the valley.
