Hi, My name is Margaret Price nee Hughes. I was born, and lived at
Cyril Place for 24 years until I married Alan Price from Granville Street. We lived with his mum and dad for a short time then moved to abungalow that Alan built at the top of Adam Street.We had two children Hilary and John and in 1966 emigrated to Australia.
In July 2009 I shall be back in Wales with Hilary ( nine when we left and she has not been home since) and would like to get in touch with anyone who remembers me.
Hoping you can put on some good weather for us ., thanks Margaret

Thanks Ian, but I don't know that family, I was probably gone before they lived at Cyril Place, its a long time ago, like more than 50 years.

Hi, I've often thought about Hilary over the years. I can remember you very well. Hilary and I were good friends. I remember playing for hours in your garden and up on the racing road! I lived at the bottom end of Adam Street. Do you remember me?

Of course I remember you Elaine, though guess I wouldn't recognise you now ..........Hilary is coming home with me. She hasn't been back since we left in 1966 so it's exciting for her to come see Abertillery again.
Perhaps we could meet with you for a coffee.We'll be staying at Brecon from 6th July and visiting Abertillery during that week.
Cheers Margaret
