Penrhiwceiber Swimming Pool

A Memory of Penrhiwceiber.

I was born in 21 King Street in the Miskin 23rd May 1952. We moved to Perthcelyn when I was 4 years old. I had a great time at Perthcelyn, a friend of mine used to live in No 48 Brynheulog. I used to live in 49 Brynheulog. During the school holidays we always had nice weather in those days, we got our swimming trunks and a towel and off down to Penrhiwceiber Pool we 'd go . It was there where I learned to swim, and sometimes we would wait for the attendant to go home then jump the wall and have a sneaky hour in the pool and to this day I hear records being played on the radio like Billy J Kramer & The Dakotas 'Do You Want To Know A Secret' and The Beatles were always being played but they were very happy days for me and I always said If I wasn't married I would move back there tomorrow and the moment I'm living in Pontypridd now, I wonder if anyone can relate to the Penrhiwceiber Swimming Pool.
