Caerau
A Memory of Caerau.
My grandmother, Florence Helen Clarke grew up in Caerau. She was born there on 25th April, 1915. Her father and her brothers all worked in the coal mines and she was brought up in poverty. Eventually she made her way to england and then immigrated to Australia in the late 50's as a "ten pound pom". I am her granddaughter and was born in Melbourne (Australia) in 1963. I've visited Caerau a couple of times and am fascinated with its history and proud that my grandmother was Welsh.
