I was in the Black Boy Hotel at the height of the floods (aged 9)where the water was 6ft deep in the bar. My Nanna (Lucy Jones) ran the pub at the time

My late father(Syd)is second from the left on the photo of the Newtown Half Day Football team. I lived in Newtown until 1973 and have many happy memories growing up there.

Brian F Jones was a great help to me in collating photos relating to Newtown FC in memory of their late Chairman, Keith Harding. Many photos and articles of Brian's footballing career appear on my website www.penmon.org - link to A Keith Harding Selection.The BBC is not responsible for the content of external websites

Lived in Newtown 94-96. Worked on Mochdre industrial estate at Wm Ohanlon. Loved the pubs especially Castle Vaults and The Lion. Walked into town along the Severn Path, always look for results from Latham Park.

I would like to trace Brian Jones, centre forward for Newtown F.C. in 1955-56. At that time he was an RAF National Serviceman stationed at RAF Truleigh Hill at Shoreham in Sussex. I have published a book on the history of the station and have a reunion planned for next April.

I am the young girl in the photo. I knew everyone in the main group. I was born just a few yards from where this was taken. As far as I know only two of the people are still alive. I am one and the other is my aunt who is ninety and lives in Crosfield House nursing home.
