As a young boy I spent many good hols in the village with my uncle Glynn Chips and my cousins. I especially remember the mountain and the camps we built behind chips' house in Ynes Wen. Please contact me if you know the Chips family.

Mary Hodges,
Hi, for years I have been trying to locate an old friend who was born in Wales and moved back there with her husband. Her maiden name is Abraham and she moved from Ipswich Sfffolk to Abacrave in the 80's. She divorced her husband who's last name is Price. I have her old address and phone number but so far no luck.

My father and his sister were evacuated to Abercraf from Liverpool during the war, aged 11 & 5 respectively. They were subsequently seperated and never saw each other again. Dad died 10 years ago and I have found my aunt now aged 73. I am trying to find any details of their time in Abercraf. Know dad was billeted with the Turner family but need to know about his sister. Their names are Ronald(always known as Keith) Lee and Esme Lee

I was born in Caerbont, Nr Abercrave but my father and family all came from Abercrave I have very fond memories of visiting my grandfather at No1 Spanish Row Abercrave as a very young boy. My grandfather was Will Moch Bach and my Father was Big Will, I am looking for anybody who could give me some background and information on my family history and relatives. My father and grandfather worked in Abercrave colliery, and I used to go with him from our house in Caerbont on a Friday walking up the railway line to Abercrave colliery to collect his wages on a friday, where the ladies in the canteen used to give me chocolates. I would also appreciate any photos that may be available of my father or my grandfather.

The photo takes me back to a time as a youngster i got a toy pedal jeep which i rode down this hill countless times there was very little traffic at that time to trouble a youngster so happy days were long and sunny, The pub at the top of the hill was called the lion,this was a favorite haunt of the American forces during the war,they were stationed in sennybridge, my father found a axe at the bottom of this hill and he told me it fell off one of the American jeeps on the way back to camp,and i have also found American cents in the old rugby field across the river tawe,my delight I was to wade the river if the ball was kicked into it i got a couple of pennies for getting the ball back ah well happy days...
