So Quiet !

This photo evokes memories of Brecon when it was a small peaceful market town with little traffic. I find it difficult to imagine now that this street had two way traffic.
We had no traffic lights in Brecon then, just a traffic controller at the top of Ship St.
Today this scene would be of traffic everywhere, parked cars and lorries and of course it has been one way for very many years. This street is closed to traffic for the May and November fairs by an ancient charter.

Four Children

First Nine years of my life in this little village. Four Children in all lived here, my Brother and I .the Ministers Son, and the small girl in the shop.
The Village has not changed much over the 50 years since I left.
Most of the old people have died now . Gosen Chapel Where I went to Sunday School still stands, And my Parents are interned there.
Happy days at home in LLyngwesion long hot summer days and dark winters
(no street lights) fond memories

My early days around Llanwrtyd Wells.

I arrived in Llanwrtyd Wells around 1947. I was 9 years old. My father Douglas Gimson had come on before us in 1946 to work in the Cambrian Factory as he was a disabled ex-Prisoner of War. I arrived with my mother Eileen and young brother Ronald. We had travelled up from the Rhondda Valley in the back of a vehicle with bits of furniture and belongings. The difference then between the Valleys and Llanwrtyd Wells was out of this world, the area around Llanwrtyd being so beautiful and clean I just thought I was on another planet. Dad had found and prepared a derelect terraced house for us about a mile or so outside Llanwrtyd in a place called Irfona. ...read more here
