Good Old Years

A Memory of Penrhiwceiber.

I was born in Mountain Ash, my nan was Mrs Florence Huntley of 74 Penrhiwceiber Road. My parents are Violet Huntley and Les Jones, we used to live in Harcourt Terrace, Penrhiwceiber. I spent all my holidays with my nan as we now live in the Midlands and even to this day I miss the people and the place. My nan cleaned the school, she lived next to curtis greengrocery shop. I remember Willises shop and the paddling pool. We had great fun there. We used to play in the old pithead baths of Cwmcynon colliery and go with our friends to Rosie's Cafe. I'm so glad to see someone keeping our heritage alive and well.
