I stayed with Mrs. Annie Chivers at Montreux, Waunfawr Park Road. In 1956 our church warden, Mr. Rogers, had the idea of building a piece on St. Catherine's Church. One fine day 600 people from St. Mary's parish church in Risca and St. Margaret's in Pontywaun walked up the valley to Cross Keys (singing, of course!) and laid a great grey stone by St. Catherine's. I had to leave and return to my home in Canada in July before the roof was on the new church. Two years ago I returned and had the very happy experience of celebrating the Eucharist again at St. Catherine's. Since then the parish has been sending me "Headlines" with news of Risca (especially The Palace) and the antics of Ramsay, the vicar's dog, with lots by John Herbert. Love to you all.

Moved to Newport with my family aged 13 years. Was a poiceman for 3o years and at presnt a local councillor with Newport City Council. Photograph of the old railway station brings back memeories as I travelled on the train to play for Crosskey United RFC. Also as a young boy spent many hours exploring all the mountains around the Crosskeys valley. Well done a excellent site. John 26th May, 2009 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 >>
