Re: Hello from Australia. From your description, I think you may have lived in the 'new' or 'upside-down' houses on the east side of Cwmtillery ... was there a farm at the top of the housing estate? Powell St is futher down the valley towards town. At the top end of the street is Gelli Crug school and at the bottom end is the Workingman's Institute (or 'Stute). If memory serves, you lived for a while, halfway up the street in an end of terrace house? A boy called Paul Trigg (Trigger) ... who at that time, sported a brilliant David Bowie (Alladin Sane) haircut, (if anyone knows him don't tell him I told you!) ... I think you knew him and his mates? -- Abertillery Online Message Board

In reply to: Debbie Barton 's message, "Re: Hello from Australia. Could that have been Anne Ford and Sharron Morgan? I know Sharron (?) grew up in Cwmtillery, I think Anne lived down near The Park? You could try 'Friends Re-united', under Roseheyworth, Abertillery or Nantyglo Comprehensive. Did you live in Powell St for a while?" on 08:31:13 06/14/05 Tue

  - Re: Old Friends. Hiya Debbie. Can't say I remember the other people you mentioned ... mind you this was quite a while ago;) We're the same age, so obviously we were in the same year in Nantyglo, though I doubt we actually met. The way I remember it, most girls of 14-16 were far more interested in older boys ... fools! Quick question; what's a shire house? If you want to see photos of Aber from the 70s, have a look at the catergories on the left as you look at this site's 'home' page, infact I think there's a link to the Cwmtillery site ... well worth a look! Dai Llewellyn runs this site ( with considerable help from others), he was in school with us, but ofcourse, he's gone on to better things, barely speaks to the likes of us anymore, oh dear me no! Hiya Dai ;) Hope the family are well! Take care Debbie. (NT) -- Jamie McCarthy., 20:44:35 06/15/05 Wed

      - Re: Old Friends.Carolyn, I've had a quick look, and there is no railway line down my parts ... cobwebs and moths I'll grant you! Ofcourse I'm up for a beer, have you ever known me refuse? (NT) -- Jamie McCarthy., 20:06:29 06/16/05 Thu

        Re: Hi MartynHiya Debbie, I just had a look and Sharon if on 'Friends Reunited'. I think it costs a couple of pounds to correspond, if you fancy it, look for Nantyglo Comprehensive. (NT) -- Jamie McCarthy., 20:38:50 06/17/05 Fri
        Re: Hi MartynHiya Debbie,Hiya Jamie. I think Martyn maybe correct but do not worry about Friends United. There are many people online on this site (NT) -- Carolyn, 01:23:35 06/18/05 Sat
