This is Blaina

My Grand parents are from Blaina, my Mother was born there, and my father from Abertillery, a short while away. Lovely place.

Thanks so much; my kiddo and I are learning more about Wales and it was lovely to see this town and its people. Thanks again!

My mother and father and grandparents lived in Blaina and cymcellen before moving down to the south coast where I was born . Used to go back there regularly as a child and teenager and remember a lot of the places on here . Happy memories of the pond in cymcellen and mountains where we used to walk my uncles dog. English by birth but welsh blood

Blaina a great place to live, once a mining town now a small town nestling deep in the Valley with friendly local people and wonderful views. Not to mention it's only a short trip to the Brecon Beacons, an ideal place to visit.

Very well.put together video nice too see something that is highlighting all the positive aspects of Blaina instead of running it down and tarring it with negativity

What an excellent promotion for our town,even us locals did not know we had so much on our door step. Well done Blaenau Gwent and an excellent job Picture Wales. Nice job.

I wonder how many residents have read the work of Blainas most famous son Frank Richards, miner, colonial soldier in India and 4 years in the WW1 trenches. Some men have a natural talent for writing ,it's a talent that transcends class boundaries, Frank had it, he made writing sound easy, a real talent.
