Pontygof Boys School
A Memory of Ebbw Vale.
My family lived in Post Office Row, Newtown, until 1939 then we left to travel to Derbyshire to find work. I was 14 years old. I started work at Langwith Colliery. Until the war started I was working on the surface, then ordered
to work underground. When the war was on we had the first 1000 bombers forming up over our village,was it a sight. The sky was full up.
During the Sheffield blitz we were on their bombing route over us.
My last teacher at Pontygof was Mr Joe Richards. When my dad was at Pontygof school Mr Richards was sat next to my dad. Mr Richards told me that my dad was the best writer in the school.
Best Regards.
Idris Bowen
