Mountain Ash Comprehensive School Grammer School

A Memory of Mountain Ash.

I remember what a facinating old house Duffryn House was.  As a teenage girl I remember having lessons in very ornate rooms decorated with wooden panelling and beautiful ceilings. The fireplaces were typical of those you would find in grand manor houses and castles. The grounds were vast and kept in very good order. I remember the science teacher telling us ghost stories in the science lab which was situated in the back of the building. There was a big heavy door entering one of the rooms where the Lord of Aberdare entertained with lavish balls. The door was aparently from an actual castle. I have very fond memories of the school.
