Machen As It Used To Be

How many can remember Machen. I was born in 1931. Now living just outside Cardiff. As you say," You can take the boy or girl out of the valleys but you can't take the valleys out of them. Let's test all memories. Do anyone remember the "Rectory Wood, the old foundry near the railway station,Bovil House,Jane Ann's cottage Draethan as it used to be.etc etc. Contact Byron Evans.
