Happy Memories

A Memory of Cwmfelin.

My parents, Thomas and Lily Evans, made their first home in a tiny house called the Lamb and Flag in Llangynwyd, just above Cwmfelin. It was, and still is, the most beautiful place. My father worked down the pit, life was very hard, but my parents went on to have eight children, Ivy, Tommy Letty, Haydn, Phylis, Dillwyn, and Billy. They moved to Cwmfelin and lived in No 12 Maiden Street, where I was born in 1932. We moved again just a bit further down the road to Mill Street. A lady called Mrs Lee had a shop on the corner. My Aunty Harriet and Uncle Gwilym lived just up the road with their son Oswald, and Aunty Mary Jane lived near the school.
