and another Hello

[jennieross]

Hello - I am pleased to say that I have just discovered The Garw Valley Heritage Society.

I was born and bred at 14 The Avenue and was Jeanette McMillan before marriage. I have a twin sister Denise. We both moved away some years ago - Denise to Huddersfield and I here there and everywhere with my career but finally sort of retiring from Surrey to Llanelli a couple of years ago. Our elder sister Jean Greenslade still lives in Pontycymmer as do our nephews.
I hope that over the coming months I will be able to recognise people that I grew up with and revive many happy memories of a childhood in Pontycymmer

Hi just joining the society, I have been very interested in the Gawr Valley for many years, my parents used to take me to Pontyrhyl for baby sitting between the ages of 7 to 12 years old.

As you visted pontrhyl as a child. Do you have any memory of a 'swimming pool' up in the Garw fechan area. We have a query about it. Any pontrhyl memories will help.
