Pontnewydd As A Child From London On Holiday
A Memory of Pontnewydd.
As a child, up to the age of about twelve, we visited our grandparents at Godfrey Road during the summer holidays. This was probably between 1952 and 1960. My father, Ernest William Smith, was born in Godfrey Road but had moved to London in the 1930's. My strongest memories were of an allotment at the back of the house. I can remember the maroon bus pulling up towards Upper Cwbran and the hills beyond. We often went for walks along the canal with two children that we befriended next door. I wonder now how we all slept in that terraced house: the two sons, my mum and dad, uncle and aunt and grandmother and grandfather.
My grandfather had worked at the steel works and I remember that there were green steam trains that were in the works.
