The Pitts Family
A Memory of Cwm.
My Dad and his sisters were all born in the Cwm, at 10 Bailey Street in the 1920's. They later lived at 4 Woodville Road. My grandfather Bertie Pitts and all his brothers worked in the Marine Colliery. Dad, Eric Pitts, joined Bertie in the Marine in 1938 and left there in 1946. Most of Bertie's family are buried in the cemetery there including Bertie and Eric, Bertie's parents Alfred and Caroline, five of his sisters and one of his brothers. Bertie was the youngest of 13! I remember visiting my grandmother Eliza many times especially at Easter when there was the Parade through Cwm until she moved away from the Cwm in the late 1960's, .

he also could have done that for your relatives . I think he lived at 154 canning street ,and he also worked in the marine pit ! I used to call in and see him on my way home from school duffryn at the bottom of marine street. when my dad took us away from CWM I never got to say good by and ,and it has always made me feel sad ever since !! my little cwm has never ever left my mind in all my life , and when my turn comes I would like to spend eternity next to my mam in cwm !!
