Abercarn Fach Cwmcrn

A Memory of Cwmcarn.

My parents, Les and Lorna Hodges and my sister, Jean, moved into 22 Abercarn Fach in approx. October 1954 just after I was born. My family were the first family to move into the newly built 2 storey flats. We lived above Bill and Gwen Maggs and their daughters, Denise and Elaine. The Way family lived in number 19 and the Tretton family lived in number 20. My memories of my childhood in Cwmcarn was playing "down the brook" at the stream which flowed down Nantcarn Road and on under the playing field and came out at the bottom of Twyncarn Road and Brooklands Terrace (I think) in Pontywaun. My mother lived in the flat until she went to live in a residential home in Brynawel Wattsville in approx. 2006/7.
