Title: Ynysybwl ..Do you live there ?completed found it.
Post by: chrissie0143 on Monday 09 November 09 18:23 GMT (UK)

Hello,
Is there anyone out there that lives in Ynysbwl?
I lived there many moons ago when I was a young child...My Dad worked at the Pit.   I have memories of the house where I lived (the row of houses) and I just wondered if I described it to someone ...maybe they could possibly tell me if they are still there...I know this sounds mad..But I would love to go back there for a visit..
Thankyou very much
Chrissie
