Princess Margarets Visit
A Memory of Six Bells.
I too am from Six Bells, and lived in Richmond Road and also Princess Street before that. If anyone remembers the picture in the papers next day of her visit, I was the little girl playing with her ducks in the cast iron bath whilst the picture was taken with the headline 'No respector of person'. My mother, Beryl Hughes, told me they wouldn't allow me to present the bouquet to the princess as I was too much of a chatterbox! I believe a little girl named Rowina eventually presented the bouquet but no photograph. My grandfather was Charles Roberts who was secretary of the working mans club in Six Bells for over 50 years. I still have some family living in Six Bells and still classify myself as Welsh although I have lived in England for most of my adult life. These were very happy days for me and I still cherish those memories. My name was Sharon Hughes if anyone remembers me.
