"THE PEOPLE OF BARGOED".

Recorded on Saturday the 18 of November 2023 I interviewed the people of Bargoed and I touched on a little further about the history. I briefly mentioned the murder that took place in 1960 and I interviewed a man who opened the Fish kitchen that opened on the high street, established in 1931. Bargoed is a former mining town in the Caerphilly county borough of the South Wales valleys near Caerphilly and Cardiff.

So informative, a MUST WATCH! 10 out of 10. I think an indoor market would be great for Bargoed. Thanks for all your posts. Real dedication for your followers to film in those conditions. I never knew there were riots in Bargoed.

A great video to watch if you know Bargoed or have some connection with the town. We lived opposite the RAFA until 1962. Great to see the streets even in the wet. You did a great job of being camera man, interviewer and commentator in pretty rough conditions. All the best

Thank you so much, still couldn't fit it all in. My next video of Bargoed will be next year when I come back from Poole, Dorset,.. and in better weather. I'll mention the notable people like Alan Hoddinott.

Thank you CJ. I don't know if you have seen my drawings but I plan to draw a picture of you with Elvis, I'd thought I would tell you first to see if you agree to it.
