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

- 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

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! If so click
