All My Youth Days

A Memory of Rhydyfelin.

I will never forget the days growing up in Poplar Road, Rhydyfelin. My friends were; Val Kerslake, Val Wiles, Barbara Young, Sylvie Elliot, Mavis Brown, John Baker, Dai Parsons, Dennis Webster, to name but a few. We would be up a mountain most of the day, building a dam in the stream to paddle in, running through the ferns and half way up we would drink water by the farm. I remember the vinegar man with a patch over his eye, my gran used to take a milk bottle to fill it up with vinegar. Dancing in the Legion, Mr Protheroe was head when I was in school, then Mr Railton came. Miss Leyshon was cookery, Mr Edwards (maths) and Miss Davis (games) - there were a few bullies in my class, but that's life sadly.My maiden name is Knowles, I live in Barry now. If you knew me, get in touch. So many lovely memories...
