I was searching your site to see if I could find our house, and found 2 photographs of it, one by the old general hospital and the other by the county grammar school. Really interesting to see how it and the surrounding area has changed. Also wanted to see Penydarren House and have been rewarded with some brilliant shots of that as well. All good stuff!  |

Re Merthyr Schools.
I went to St. Illtyds RC School in Dowlais many years ago. I remember many of the teachers. In particular Mr Bill Duggan, Mr Hennessy who would as a treat ,if it was your birthday, give you pop and ice-cream in a glass. Mrs Jenkins, Mr Sullivan, Mrs Ferron, Ms Fitzgerald, Mrs Buckley, Miss Foley who was I think the headmistress, Mrs Regan who, to a shy six year old, was the kindest person in the world. Mr and Mrs Price who both went on to teach at Bishop Hedley School. Does anyone remember any of the other teachers. Sadly many of them are no longer with us.
