I live 4,000 miles away in the US. I miss my home very much. My kids and grandkids are there and it hurts. By the way, I'm the young lad on the sea-saw in the opining picture. A long time ago now.

Watched again and again a brilliant video 😢 never fails to get me emotional 😢

Me and my Brother were born in Mountain Ash but lived in Aberdare....I,m now in Italy but still miss the Valleys sometimes...😢😢😢😢

I was born in Mountain Ash . Lived at Gladstone Street and Edward Street . Played on the hillsides when I was a kid.

Thanks so much for posting this! My dad (Evan Thomas) was born and raised next door in Cwmbach. Circa 1973 he and wife Delores bought and ran the sub post office in Mountain Ash

Amazing video..

My nanny was from mountain ash R.I P nan ❤

Wow amazing I lived in Timothy row so many memories ❤

Thank you for posting this video. It is a great compilation and historical record of life in the valley towns. It brought back many memories of my early years there.

Truly fabulous

My husband was from Mountain Ash, he learned to walk on the coal tips with his father.

Thank you for sharing, My Nan and Great Grandparents were from Mountain Ash, My Great Grandfather was a miner and eventually died of the miner's disease here in Sussex, It is really interesting to see where they lived.

Moved to penybryn ❤

I was sent this by a friend who lived in mountain ash - can anyone tell me the name of the choir - it’s wonderful

you are so lucky nobody would come to mountain ash unless they were mentally sick

Good old Miskin Co-op

Hi My parents were both from Mountain Ash my Dad was Juliffe living in Oakland street

I really enjoyed your video - do you have any pics of the old Pavilion (built around 1905)? Thanks

I'm not sure. I knew the teacher, but I don't remember the class. The first school wa Darrenlas, I'm actually in that picture.

The name of the first song and the choir, please?

Sosban Fach is the name. Can't remember the choir who sang it. It's an old Welsh folk song.
