I know Jackie,and she still works at the chip shop.

My first School, my First teacher Miss Jones and my first "Governess Miss Thomas. I became a Teacher. then a Headteacher in Kent, where quite out of the blue I met The son of a former Headteacher at Abertysswg School a certain Mr Morgan (1939-45 approx.)

Quite a building for a small village, whilst I attended Bethania which was just along the Road I did attend certain Services at Ainon, Baptisms and Anniversary Sundays.Are the WALKOUTS still held on Whit Monday?

This corner photograph brings back very many memories,the shop next door was Conboys whilst the shop near the red car was Jordan's The newagent.Who remembers "Cliff" delivering the dailies.Born in 5 Westville,lived at 32 Arthur Street until 1947 when I came to live in Kent.

Ainsley Thats the local girls who heard there were some old rams up at the Mac but got there after closing time - Big shame another of the Rhymney valley night spots gone for ever H

Ainsley thats no postcard they would not have taken the shot with a tree in the way Glyn you managed to cut your finger out of the picture - All the Best H

It's an old culvert that seen the light of day when an old wall was taken down , it has now been covered by a new wall so is unlikely to see the light of day again.It carries water from the natural spring in the woods behind into the Rhymney river.Thought it would an interesting photo as it will be unlikely to be seen again.

What a shame! Someones valued posession destroyed, and a local beauty spot marred - if only temporarily.

I think this is the best picture for me.

I used to walk along this area in the 1950's era, Ronald Rogers
