  8. I lived in Bargoed as a child as my Dad was a miner in the local pit. We lived with my uncle, Michael Walsh, who had a large field and kept goats. He died as a result of anthrax sometime in the 1950s. Does anyone know anything of him or any of his family? I believe his wife's name was Amy.

  9. Can you believe that there is now a very real risk that Lady Llanover's lovely little Welsh Church (Currently used by the congregation of St. Luke's Church in Wales) will be closed in January 2012? Doesn't it feel like another part of our heritage is being sidelined yet again?

  13. I dare you all to not remember Skippy, he was the most regular pupil at Cwmcarn for many years, yes I talk of Skippy the Dog from the top of Llanfach, do credit to him he did more sentence in Cwmcarn than the rest of us did, most of us younger ones actually thought he was Ian Cockers dog..... comments
