Nostalgic memories of Maerdy's local history

Share your own memories of Maerdy and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I was a scout belonging to the 19th Walsall troop, around 1958 / 59 we camped the traditional way on a farm at Melinywig, the farm was called something like Ty Teg Barc, the field sloped down to a river. The farmer's son was called something like Clunn, he taught me to tickle trout. His mother cooked us jugged hare, brilliant . We all had a fab time. Does anyone know the whereabouts of the farm? I would love to see it again. Many thanks, Dave Richards
My grandparents Robert Owen and Anne Davies lived in the cottages next to the church and I spent many holidyas there, I remember when the A5 went right past the garden gate, that was before the lay by was made.
