I enjoyed reading about the days gone by. Victor, tired old men with hair like snow I am full of admiration for your web site. I only tuned in to look at the Empire painting which graces the wall of my G.P. and was amazed to view your art, memories of the war, etc. etc. We think very much alike especially when it comes to the desecration of dear old Newport. My Dad worked on a Sunday down at Ebbw Junction as he too was a railway man. His name was Wally Rogers and would have appreciated the painting of Ebbw Junction.

I only wish he was here so I could give it to him and see his eyes light up. But he probably looked over my shoulder in spirit when I was browsing your wonderful web site.

Can you remember the farm at Maesglas and have you any tales to tell as to who owned it?

Did you remember the name of the people that had the farm down Maesglas?

[Mapson's]

And more important are any of them still alive?

[Any feed back email me ]

My Dad would have loved to have met with you to talk about the old days,

I believe most of the men in his family were Railway men, like father like son as it was years ago

It is nice to go back in ones mind and remember how the old Ebbw Junction engine sheds once were a hive of activity giving employment to those Lads who trod the railway tracks of the old Great Western Railway.

It is no doubt your Father knew of my cousins Moco Morgan; Reg & Bill My Brother Ken with Denzel Davies on the coal stage many of the men lived at Maesglas and supped their ale at the Collar and Tie Ebbw bridge Club. My cousin Bill would often perform with a miming act of Churchill's speech we will fight on the beaches.
