Fond Memories Of My Chidhood

A Memory of Coed Eva.

My name is Gary Wilson. I moved to 12 Stiels court, Coed Eva from Scotland, my mum's name was Jannete Wilson, she worked at the Blinken Owl pub, and my dad's name was Robert Wilson. I went to Coed Eva primary school and was at Fairwater high school for 1 year as we moved back to Scotland, appromximately 4 years we lived at Coed Eva. I can remember the Blinken Owl pub being built, we use to play on the building site! I am 48 so names of some friends have been forgotten, a name I remember is Andrew Toggle, his dad coached Coed Eva under 10s, Coed Eva split into 2 teams, I then played for Coed Eva United, also played for a team called Race, also I had a trial for Cwmbran under 10s. I have been back to Coed Eva twice in 37 years and still have the memories as it was yesterday. It's old looking but I will always remember my childhood in Coed Eva.
