my past memories are of gilfach visits to my gran and grancha

i was 5 years old at that time , my mum would take myself and my sisters on the bus from hengoed . every week to visit gran and granch. my grandparents lived in gilfach street oposite the old fire station where we would sit in the window waiting for the engine to appear. good times.

i later in 1969 married a boy from gilfach and then went to live in the very same house my grandparents lived in. i now have left gilfach and living in hengoed.

my husband still as family there and we visit regular.
