I was hoping there might be someone who might have any pictures of Llanfrechfa, particularly Crown Rise. We moved into number 42 in 2006 and have old paperwork for the bungalow we are now living in. It would be great if anyone could share their memories and/or pictures for us to see how it all used to be. I believe it was built around the late 1950's. My husband Dennis used to live in Bath Green, just off Crown Rise and he has no photographs of his childhood area. Any help would be fab! Many thanks.

Hello, just found your site which is amazing. I was brought up in Cwmbran. I left at age 17 to join the WRAC. It was lovely to see old pictures of old Cwmbran as I remembered as a child. I attended St Dials and then Oakfield junior school and then went on to Llantarnam. I guess the dates I lived there were from 1952-1969. Unfortunately I never returned to live in Cwmbran but visited regularly until the death of my mother. Hilda May Margaret Thomas. Would it be possible for you to post this on your board for me. I would love any contact with former school friends. I was Anna Filimonow before I married .

Hi Ivor, how good is your memory?, I worked in the Core shop (G.K.N) and was upstairs on the `sand` with Billy Carr, I have seen Jack Day, Peter
Herbert, Ray Gumm, but Arthur Truby and Howard Wilkinson have passed on. Only just picked up this web site, I didn't have a P.C untill I was 87
--now 91  and still going strong!

Best wishes, it would be nice to hear from you ...

I am looking for a friend of mine, Mary Barrell who I remember lived in Ton rd, Cwmbran, she also has a brother called Richard (dicky) who played rugby for Newport. this was in the 1960's and early 70's. Mary was my best friend when we both attended St. Clares Convent in Porthcawl, we did our 'O' levels and then our lives went separate ways, especially when I came to Italy to live.
I often come to Cardiff and tried to find my friend but without success. I hope this message will be able to find Mary to see here once again as I've always thought of my school days with her.....
