Crikey! that brought back some memories. If I remember correctly the structure after the bus stop on the left is the steps down to Aberbeeg? If so then that bus stop was a scheduled stop for the Red & White not a request stop. When my dad was an inspector he used to hide in the shelter and step out at the last minute to catch drivers who didnt stop because they were behind schedule! Lovely chap my dad!!
Any members who worked for the Red & White, Jones, Ralphs or Henley Id love to hear from you. Does anyone have a picture of the Cottonwood or the Bush Hotel?

Bryn Trefil Just pleased my postings have been of interest for other members to respond, I do like to return to the area, last time down there 1st March we looked at a house (abertillery) that our Great Grandmother was living in (1923) for the first time, only found the info recently, any bit of info helps Dave
I agree with you. Keep up the good work _________________ Everyone is gifted but some just never open their package
When I lived at my nans in Glan Ebbw Terrace I used to call in to the Cottonwood for a Steak and Kidney pie. The pie was heated in a special pan that fitted on the steam nozzle of the coffee machine. This made the pie hot but quite soggy....the chap who ran it then was foreign, maybe Italian.
Does anyone know of a Jane Morgan who owned the Bush Hotel at the turn of the last century?

I remember 'steamed pies' too Haydn. Weren't we sophisticated? The chap who ran it was Mr Molina. _________________ The compliments pass when the quality meet.
In my younger days representatives of St Paul's Church carried a cross to the top of the tip at Easter. Must have been quite a haul since I remember scrabbling up the shail myself many times and it was hard enough work without lugging a big cross with you.
