Date: 07/2/08- Tracey Aceto: - I wonder if anyone out there can help, I live on Llantarnam road in one of the old tin miners cottages, just opposite Llantarnam school, I know they were built around 1888, and they used to be called STAR ROW, I've been trying to find some information, photographs, etc, on them. So if anyone out there can help I would appreciate it. If so click here

Date: 16/12/07 - Corol Smith:- I would be interested to know if anyone has memories of The Lion Hotel, Abersychan, particularly any photos. Relatives of mine used to run the pub, and I lived there for about 6 months during the war years. If so click here

Date: 14/12/07 - Lynda Strong:- Can anyone remember what the butcher's shop was called, the one that was directly opposite Mark Roberts in the Town Centre prior to the demolition of the Strand?

Date: 12/12/07- Lynda Strong-I was wondering if anyone has any memories or photos of Cwmbran town centre and surrounding areas. My parents moved to Salisbury Court in 1967 while it was still under construction, does anyone have photos etc of this area and of the main road Greenmeadow Way when it was just fields? Also my parents remember when the now closed Post Office that was in Blenheim Square used to be a cafe/bakery in the late Sixties but can't really remember what it looked like or what it was called. And does anyone have memories both recent (1985+) and earlier of both Cwmbran Town Centre and Old Cwmbran? I do remember going to International (now the In-Shops) when I was about five in the late Seventies but can't remember when it closed. Any memories/photos would be greatly appreciated!
