I am looking for information about the Wimborne Arms Lower High Street Dowlais which was demolished in 1966.
It was next to the Catholic School Canteen,facing the Bont.
Thankyou.

Hi, I lived in 192, Gellifaelog Road 1951 - 1963 and remember the Wimborne Arms. I went there for tea one day, invited by the daughter of the Rumbles, think har name could have been Angela.

Hi, my family were licencees of this pub for many years as well as other pubs in the Dowlais area. What information are you looking for? It's many years since I've looked at this site and thats why I've been so long in replying! |

From the age of seven, my father, Phil Rumble, was brought up my his aunt and uncle, Flo and Ernest Fisher who kept the Wimborne Adms, Lower High Street, Dowlais. When Flo died in 1946, my father took over the running of the pub with his wife Peggy and at that time I was nine months old. My sister, Angela, was born in May 1955. We all lived in the Wimborne until about 1963, when my parents took over the running of the Grawen on Brecon Road, where we remained until about 1966. Mr Fisher died when we were living in the Grawen following a fall in his bedroom. Mr Fisher was always known in both pubs and by friends and family as Fish. We moved to Gladys Street, Penydarren from which address I got married in 1968. Sadly, my father died the following year from a heart condition. He was only 54. My mother lived in Gladys Street until her death at age 90.
