Pontywaun canal.
Hello. My name Roger Evans, I now live in Spanish Fork, Utah, USA. My birth place was Ystrad Mynach. I was wondering if someone out there has any information on the Davies family who moved to Pontywaun from London in the 1960s? They lived close to Garden Suburbs, the road they lived on was more like a back lane and you had to go down steep steps to get to the house. The had three daughters, I think Eluned still lives in the area. Any info would be appreciated. Thank you. Roger.
This is a view of Pont-y waun from Pont-y-waun bridge. If you look closely you can just make out the canal that ran parallel to the railway line. In the background is the Rhwsg mountain which I had the pleasure to climb frequently as a kid and even recently on my mountain bike!
