Some memories by there, lived just across the road from the library at Warren Close from '67 to' 72 then moved to Ceiriog Crescent and finally Poplar Road ♥️👌

Ah, my college. Makes me tear up to see that place again, I went there for a couple of years in my teens, got some good memories there, it really brought out the best in me. And the library! I still understood the world when it looked like this

My mum grew up in Rhydyfelin and we moved back to Pontypridd in 1967 after my grandfather died. Makes me so homesick watching this.

Some nice pictures,my mother came from Abercynon and i was Christened in the tiny chapel of Saint Gwynos in1946, my grandparents lived on Lock Street and the Chapel was directly behind their house. I lived in North London but always had at least four weeks summer holiday with my grandparents and Loved it!every year till i left school to work.even then i visited a couple of times a year till i was in my 20's and got married and moved up North. Always liked Ponti market, fagotts and peas and then Dandelion and Burdock from the "pop" man. There was a toy shop in Ponti near the station where i used to buy Frog plastic aircraft kits,to many memmories!

I wonder when this voice recording was made? I can remember Mr Smout and his hire boats at Llangollen that this Bargee refers to here. My memory is from Easter 1962 and my father hiring Mr Smouts "Dawdler" and our weeks journey from Llangollen down to Wheaton Aston near Wolverhampton.

These vans have certainly changed since i worked for Hopkin Morgan Bakery in 1965 in the bakery every morning at 5:45 loading the van up. If you was in there late you'd have a job getting all your beard out, it was left to the van boys to load the vans and hope when they drove around the bends of the road the bread was not on the floor. It was nice to go to work in a shirt and tie and a nice clean overall polished choose, we had to look the part although i was in the bakery at 5:45 never finished any day six days a week until 5:45pm. I was on round 30 Merthyr, Brecon and Tredegar.

barbara davies I hope you don’t mind my asking.but are you from Wales? I became sort of fascinated with Wales after becoming friendly with a lovely lady who worked at our local pharmacy, who was from Wales...and then I read Tom Jones memoir..that sealed the deal..I am a many decades Tom Jones fan also...we want to visit Wales..we’ve been to the British Isles ...our “motherland” actually...but didn’t make it to Wales...we love your part of the world...

Yes Nancy - I'm from South Wales - just a couple of miles away from the town of Pontypridd where Tom Jones was born. I live in a village called Ynysybwl. My husband's parents lived in Treforest, Pontypridd, in the same street as Tom Jones and they remembered him well as a teenager and knew his family well. When I worked in Pontypridd Magistrates' Court many years' ago, I knew a lady there whose husband played in the band for Tom Jones. Yes, Wales is a beautiful country and such a lovely part of the world - just one problem - the weather!!!! You can't have everything, I don't suppose!!

We moved to Ponty from Treorchy in 1967 - to a "posh" semi (after our terrace with outside loo) in the new Whiterock estate. Pontypridd was a lovely place in those days - I hope it can be again.

@alyswilliams9571 Жыл бұрын

We lived on the Whiterock estate too. I haven't been back there since my father died in 2009. Gould's bike shop was owned by a friend of dad's. I miss Wales but don't know if I would want to live there now after over forty years in Somerset.

I knew a girl named Sue Gould who lived on the estate. Her family had a newsagent's in town and I used to do a paper round for them when I was 13 and 14. Same family? @@alyswilliams9571
