Guestbook

Well Nigel, I have to say that your website really deserves some recognition, I have been using your site for a few years now and the amount of information both past and present that endlessly keeps flowing surely makes this one of the best community websites in Wales, Nigel, have you sat down and realised how much enjoyment and how many memories you have brought to the people of Cwmbran over the past few years? its endless, I, myself, have found so many long lost friends and neighbours. You have provided a fantastic service to the people of Cwmbran and I hope you will continue to do so.

Many thanks Nigel for all your continued hard work and dedication

I worked at GIRLINGS at first, then went to G. K. N. for 11years, before emigrating to New South Wales, AUSTRALIA in 1971 with my wife and two children.

We live in a town called SHELLHARBOUR 80 Klms, south of Sydney near the coast.

I have visited Cwmbran every year since 2002 and am looking forwardto my next trip in MAY 2011. Never tire of the welcome from everyone.

I would like to wish you all a MERRY XMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR.

A fantastic site, home from home you might say.

Born in Panteg, lived on the cross Roads at Ty Pwca Road, had 4 older brothers Ian, Charlie, Rocky and Mark Roch. Was a bit of a lad when I was young (so were my brothers).

Now living in Cornwall and a Teacher ( you can all stand up again now ), yes you doubting lot ( those that know me that is ).

Come home as often as I can and love it.

Hi There,

I lived in Oakfield road Cwmbran and went to Coed Eva school .

Now live in Peacehaven East Sussex.

Hi there, I lived in Ty Trappa road Pontnewydd for 19 years, I went to Mount Pleasant school and later on to Llantarnam school. I left school in 1974, I worked in Chalmers chemist in Pontnewydd, then emigrated to Australia. If anyone remembers me it would be great to hear from you.

Hi the Zolek family with 3 boys Zenon, Stefan and Rick left Maendy Way, West Pontnewydd in November 1972 and settled in Brisbane Queensland Australia , boys still in Brisbane but we now live in a beautiful cattle town of Kilcoy 1 and 1/2 hour drive in the country on very dry acreage.We love Australia ,but will always be Welsh , do not know if you missed it but we did take a part of Cwmbran with us and will keep it in our hearts for ever; have been back a few times and seen great changes, we could look up the mountain a great view but now it is full of houses PROGRESS.

Thanks for giving us ex-pats a voice and a big Hi to all in Cwmbran

Hi from Melbourne , Australia .

My name is Pat Miles and I was born and brought up in Cwmbran . I lived on Woodside Road with my family, three sisters , Janet , Maureen and Susan, one brother , Lyndon.

I went to St.Dials primary school , 1950-55 ,then went to Abersychan Grammar /tech 1955-61 . I migrated to Australia in 1973 and am still here. Told about your site by a cousin who lives in New Zealand. Great site! brought back so many memories and recognised so many names .

Would love to here from anyone who remembers myself or my family.

Beryl Close , then Zolek now Peachey born in Pill, Newport , I once rode under the Transporter Bridge, moved to Cwmbran new town and lived in West Pontnewydd , aged 52 years, left in 1972 for Queensland. Australia. I have only just found your great site! Thank You .. Keep up the good work !!!

Hello from Turkey.

I stumbled across this web site while looking for an address and got hooked for several hours. What memories came flooding back, particularly looking at old photographs of Cwmbran: fondly remembered teachers at West Pontnewydd school, Mrs Garrett, Miss Beese and most of all Danny Collins (what a man), the group of shops at Oakfield, newly built when my family arrived there from Bournemouth, various locations in old Cwmbran, the clock in the village (what a tatty old bus shelter), Saturday mornings going to the library and many many more.

I sent the link to my brother in law, Doug Kelly, as I knew he would enjoy the content and he has asked me to get in touch so here I am.

Having spent the greater part of my life migrating between Bournemouth and the Cwmbran/Grifithstown area my husband and I have finally settled in the beautiful country of Turkey, about 15km from Bodrum. We have been here for almost 2 years and love our new life, place, people and culture.

I will endeavour to gather my thoughts, at some stage, and put the proverbial pen to paper with some recollections of my time in Cwmbran and perhaps get in touch with some long lost friends.

For the time being I'll just say thank you for a very pleasant trip down memory lane and look forward to more visits.

Fond regards

Christine Taylor (nee Hurley) formerly of Green Willows.

Formerly from Hill street, Cwmbran until 1950; then moved to a new house with my parents and brothers to South Road, Oakfield park------- now residing in Dorset, 5 miles from Bournemouth.

After serving 9 years in the RAF moved to Dorset.

The website was told to me by my sister-in-law who now lives in Turkey, she came across it by accident and informed me about it, what a good site it is as well, it brought back so many memories, I have printed off some copies of some of the info etc; and passed it on to two of my brothers.

Keep up the good work!

By the way when I looked up the website today (25/1/09) and clicked on the Guest Book, the first entry is from Robin Carter, he lived next door, I lived at number 27 South Road, I intend to get in touch with him via e mail.

After Nearly 35 years of travelling around the world, merchant navy 6years, New Zealand 11 years

Western Australia 18 years. And 5 children later, I have discovered this great site..

Born and bred in Cwmbran (Oakfield) 1951 Llantarnam secondary modern ( yes I remember Harold� put your hand out boy� Waters,�- Len I�ll kick your arse if you don�t tackle� Constance etc).

Walks as a child, �up the mountain�, .Croesy dance, drinking gallons of ale in the Oakfield, that cold winter of 1963 etc.

My mum still lives old Cwmbran (the village), and is now 87.

She was a district nurse in Cwmbran for many years, and in the early days rode a bike, usually from Oakfield to Henllys.

I have been back home (Cwmbran will always be home to me) a couple of times over the years, and I could hardly believe the changes, some for the good, and some not so good. Whatever happened to the village?

For those who can remember me, I lived at 25, south road Oakfield, with my mum Joan my dad Max, my brother Mark, and my sister Ann.

I hope to visit Cwmbran in the not too distant future, and see some of my relatives.

I am originally from 32 Lowlands Road, Pontnewydd. Moved to the U.S.A. in 1975.

Great to see the old photos, it brings back so many memories.

I have lived in Auckland New Zealand since 1981.

My family is from Cwmbran. (25, Tregonin Terrace - is that the correct spelling??). My uncle, Harry Higginson and his family, lived there all of his life just about. Uncle Cyril went to Tenby, where he had a guest house. My grumpy father, Archibald Higginson passed away 20 years ago. My Brother Don lives in Essex, England and my sister, Valerie in Sydney, Australia.

I have visited three times over the years but not been able to find any of my relatives - I would love to have contact with them, if anyone can help.

Please help if you can. I feel so very Welsh, if that makes sense, and always follow the Red Dragons, even against the All Blacks!

My best wishes to every Welsh person on the planet - I love you all.

Thanks for facilitating a marvellous website. It brought a tear to my eye.

Sincere regards,

Eddie.

I was born Newport, lived in Orchard Lane Northville. Trinity Road -West Pontnewydd. East Roedin Coed Eva, Brynglas Hollybush.

Cracking Site!! well maintained. I view your site on a regular basis and have been looking for old Cwmbran photos, if I turn any up I will let you have them soonest.

My mum and three brothers still live in Cwmbran ; I, for shame don`t, I love and miss the place so much ...

It is the best place around !

I have lived all over Britain and nothing else comes close

I love coming back to see friends, family and CWMBRAN; And one day I will move back. I left Cwmbran, six years ago, hope to be back before it reaches ten.

Thank you for making this website ...

Hi, Tom Absalom here, I used to be known as Ron and was living in West Pontnewydd 1956-1966

For my sins I was sent to Coventry where I have lived for 30 odd years.

This web site is great! I love it !! I`m sure that I know some of the names mentioned ,but time and old age dims the memory lol

Anyone that knows me and is friendly can email me.

Love to hear from you ,

Tom Absalom

This is a superb site ,,, Big thanks Nigel, Cwmbran owes you!

My name is Bev Trenter I used to live in Cedar Walk, Upper Cwmbran. All my family emigrated to Australia in 1983. I was 20 then, it is great looking back at this website. My mother is Marian Trenter (Hopkins) my Father was Derek Trenter he passed away in 2006 he would have loved it. My older brothers are Mark and Karl if anyone remembers any of us please get in touch; I am using the work computer at the moment.

I love looking through the website and my Mam recognises aa lot of the old photos.

Fantastic!!!

My sister Louise Post has written an item about our Grandfather Elijah Dudley and

we have now found some new cousins...the website is great and the photographs add

so much more to seeing where our family once lived - The Square, Upper Cwmbran

Fab Site Nige, I drop in very often and have a peep to see if there are any messages or new photo's on here.

I've even got my Dad interested in the site and he's 75 (using the net for the 1st time - ah bless).

Keep up the good work babe, all us Cwmbranites really appreciate all your hard work.

Congratulations Nigel on a fantastic effort of bringing the `Land of my

Fathers` to me.

Hi I have most of my life in Cwmbran and US, this is a great site!
and needs know improvement that I can see,. My school days were spent at Llantarnam, any contact is welcome.
Great site change nothing! I never thought there was so much about Cwmbran I never new, and I was born here,

Hi Nigel Well done good site. Seen a lot of old faces and friends from the past. Very enjoyable site.

Again WELL DONE !!

Thank you Nigel for this great website. My grandfather was born at Square Cwmbran, Upper Llanvrechva in 1858. I have been looking for information on Square Cwmbran and found your site and the wonderful photographs. Thank you for making Square Cwmbran real to me. I will now and forever carry a picture within of where my grandfather was born and where my great-grandparents lived. Keep up the good work. I am sure many will be grateful for your dedication.

Louise Post

I'm originally from West Pontnewydd, Cwmbran, but I now live in New Inn. A great town full of fantastic memories. When I hear people saying bad things like "dump...", I can only imagine that they just haven't had a good life here............or they are just miserable so and so's.

Do you have any comments?

I love the site, and have spent hours on here reading everyone's comments about the good ole days, I lost my mum to breast cancer and I am no longer in contact with my dad, so its wonderful to be able to come on the site and read stories about how Cwmbran used to be; it almost makes me want to go back in time. The website has made me more aware of our town and its changes, and I am now photographing any of the like so that I may too tell my children when they grow up of my time in Cwmbran.

Congratulations on receiving your community award.

And not before time I might add.

I read David Orphan's comments about you and especially the great work you have done for the canal, who could argue with that?

The canal has never looked better, its much less litter free and it seems local traders are doing their bit regarding shopping trolleys and the like,

Local people owe you a great deal for all the good work that you have done, not only for the canal but extending your site to others who have left our shores,

I myself have found endless old school friends and long lost neighbours, I myself would also like to say "thank you Nigel".

Hi Nigel,

Your website has given so much pleasure too so many people, not only from Cwmbran, but from all over the World. If anyone, anywhere, wanted to start up a website for their community, your website should be held up high as a example of how to go about it.

THE PEOPLE OF CWMBRAN THANK YOU!

Hi Nigel: I've just been introduced to this site by Brian Howard an old St. Dials' schoolchum, circa 1948. Reading through the contributions has brought back so many old memories. My family was one of the Lucas families, transplanted from Birmingham in 1940, to help start the Ministry of Aircraft Production factory in Grange Road. We lived until 1950 at Court Farm Estate, Llantarnam, before moving to live on the Caerleon Road in Llanfrechfa, where my mother resided until her death in 1997. My father, Walter James Perry, owned an engineering business in the Avondale Industrial Estate. After High School and University I lived with my wife in Bath Road, Llanfrechfa, for a year or two before emigrating to Canada. I have lived in West Vancouver, British Columbia for the last 32 years and frequently visit South Wales where I still have family, my sister and her family living in Abergavenny. It was wonderful to see and hear so many familiar sights and stories on your web page. I will be a regular visitor. Thank you so much.

With Kindest Regards..John W. Perry.

The site is quite well done Nigel. Maybe get some Welsh music like 'We'll keep a Welcome' or the Welsh National Anthem playing.

Enjoyed my several visits to Cwmbran with my relatives who live at Tintern Close. Hi Auntie Dorothy Morgan and cousin's Debbie and Tyrone Morgan. Beautiful town Cwmbran!

Very good site. I now live in Wollongong Australia, but miss Cwmbran very much. I was in Cwmbran last year for three weeks visiting family, and saw big changes to the place since I was last there in 1991 (all for the better, except for all those speed cameras) Thanks to people like you I can still do a tour of the old place and bring back many happy memories, keep up the good work.
