Wimmerfield Crescent is a residential street located in Killay, Swansea. It feeds three small residential cul-de-sac roads, one of which is called Heol Glasnant where I used to live. Heol Glasnant has the unusual property (in Wales) of being flat, and the lack of throroughfare made it an ideal venue for street parties.

In 1977 Elizabeth II had reigned for 25 years, and to celebrate this Silver Jubilee, street parties were organised for children throughout the UK (and probably elsewhere in the Commonwealth too).

This video of the events before the party is shot at my grandparents house on Wimmerfield Crescent and features several local mums and grandmothers attending just one of many coffee mornings, bring-and-buy sales and raffles that were held to raise funds for the party.

I was just a little over 4 1/2 years old on party day, and a couple of months later entered the Reception class in Hendrefoilan School (where many of the other kids also attended). Hendrefoilan School had opened 8 months previously, so before then, many of the kids attended Dunvant Junior School.

If you see yourself, or your kids, or parents, or grandparents, let me know, it would be great to get everybody identified for posterity.
