I remember Bertha very well. In addition to selling papers, i believe Bertha was a regular organizer of bus trips to Barry Island.
With regards the cafes, my mother, June Grace, (nee
Pritchard), worked at Joe's cafe in the forties. Having been in Canada for 34 years and an infrequent visitor to Crosskeys, the "corner" doesn't look quite right without Joe's and Don's.

Sadly Domenica Cavavciuti died in November 05.
Her daughter Anna still lives in Crosskeys. Her son John lives in London where he owns a delicatessen.

I have fond memories of Joe and Don, they were such a big part of Crosskeys when I was growing up. Also remember Bertha Chick, she gave me pennies for helping her out even though she hadn't much herself. Can anyone remember Wally Gittings,a little man that always stood on Crosskeys corner?
