Castle Street Near The Square

A Memory of Maesteg.

This picture brings back so many memories; just a simple shot of the square in Maesteg, but if you could move that tree way over on the left you would see my grandmother's house at 5B Castle Street; it was called Broadview and I spent many happy hours there in 1951, 1953 and 1959.  It was my mother's place of birth and where she was raised until she attended University of London in Torquay during the war years. I believe the tiny glimpse of windows in the far left would be my grandmother's but I'm not absolutely positive on that! Anyone remember Charlotte Thomas or Sally Wynne, my mother? Anyone have any pictures of Castle street?? I have quite a few and I treasure those. I can remember the hospitality of the people and the memories shared when I paid a return visit back in the 1980's. Some people not only remembered my grandmother but they remembered ME as a child visiting there!! Sadly my grandmother's home is now a supermarket which makes me unhappy. But since my hobby is miniatures I intend to reproduce my grandmother's home in a 1-inch scale. It may not be perfect but I know it will evoke sweet memories.  Thanks for letting me express myself!
