Cubs Boy scouts and confirmation classes
I remember being mainly in the Cubs and a short time in the scouts in the church hall adjacent to the church. Ken Howlett was the Scout Master and I believe the Vicar at the time was Prosser. I later took confirmation classes at this church with a school friend of mine Stuart Askins, we both lived in New Century St. We were later confirmed at Llandaff Cathedral. Have lived for the past 33 years in Australia and still have fond memories of my home town.

New Century St
I lived the street below here, New Century St, there was a newsagent next to the garage, and a set of steps down to New Century St. Before the flats were built, in the early 60's we used to have the bonfire on the waste ground. There was a hair dresser opposite the bakers, I had my hair done there for my wedding.
