The thread "Bryn-Bach in 1936!" showed up when I was searching for information today. As a long-time collector of Scouting postcards I can confirm that your photograph is of a former Scout campsite called Brynbach (no hyphen) near Saron, Denbighshire. The site was established in 1934 but closed (as far as I have been able to discover) some time in the 1950s.

Used to come to Tredegar as a boy to stay with my grand father Sid Dickinson in Sirhowy. It was a busy community and very friendly. The valley was alive with activity, small trains, the mines were working, the Circle Cafe with Gus & Ivy. This was late 50's to early 60's.

My great Grandmother Leticia Evans was from Tredegar! I use her cast iron oval pan to fry my Welsh cookies every Christmas, using her recipe! Have been to Wales once and want to return, especially to your town. What a beautiful country!

Hi I am looking for information about myself and sibling. We were placed in a childrens home in tredegar approx 1956/57 I would have started school there and gone to an infants school in the area. My name then was Heather Heron I was 5 years old in 1957. My sister was Gwyneth Heron she would of been about 10 years old and my brother would have been 7/8 years old his name was Trevor Heron. Any information that anyone can give about the schools or the childrens home would be great. The name of the childrens home would be great as my search from childrens services have no records of us. I really hope there is someone out there that can help Thank you Heather

Hello from the united states. My husband and I were in Tredegar last in September 2011. We loved it! We visited with our dear friends, Brian, Pat, Amanda, and Simon Thomas. We have the same last name but we are not related. We hope to visit again, maybe next year. We loved the town clock, we enjoyed visiting Abergvenny also. Hope you all stay well and happy! Love from America.

Hi.
Just discovered this site. I was born in 1959 in Cefn Golau, my mother and father Ken and Alma Edwards then moved to Elmwood house in Park Place and towards the end of the 60's ran the Demo Club in Church St before we moved down to Newport. I'm now in Perth Western Australia but will be planning a visit to my home town in the near future.

Hello, I am looking for the family of Thomas Price that was in Tredegar in the 1890's. He is my great-great-great grandfather. If you might be a family member please contact me through my e-mail address, toby62949@yahoo.com. I would love to hear from you. I was listening to one of the radio broadcasts that is on here and it said that a Thomas Price layed the corner stone of the new town hall in 1892. I am so hoping that there are still family members that live in Tredegar. Thank you for your time and help.
To the web master of this site, I am so glad to have found this site but I can not figure out how to register. I'm not very computer smart, can you help me. Please use the above e-mail address to contact me. Thank you

Grandfather William Lloyd came to USA from Tredegar, good singer, good cook.
I would like to come visit the town.
I believe there are relatives still there. Have a picture of the place he lived....
Have been reading of the history of the place.
Have heard Great-Grandmother was excellent seamstress, and quite a lady, still have intricate needlework left by family.
