We have just looked at the vide and reconoized many faces from Fairy Grove and Wimmerfield Cresent. One was Joy Aubrey 46 Fairy Grove. Jackie Richards was about six years old.

Oh yes….Of course, Joan and her daughter Jackie…. I told you the grey cells are not what they were! Sorry to both of them!

My sister, now living in Canada, came across your site and what a treat. I recognised some of the women but the little girl in the pink dress is Jackie Richards who lived in Fairy Grove. Her mum Joan is indeed sitting at the table.

Whilst searching the ‘net’ for a music arranger I came across your site.
I am originally from the Mount Pleasant area of Swansea and have three brothers living there.
My partner is from the Glanmor area and I will be bookmarking your site for her to see.
Diolch,
Alan

Just spotted Joyce Merriman too, I think, Marion Halsey’s sister?

Perhaps the chap seen running through the pic later on may have been Warren Turner, son of Joyce & Jack Turner? Before they moved elsewhere, they lived in the last house before the alley way down to Fairy Grove, perhps no 41 Wimmewfield Cres?
Sorry, but the little grey cells only work for a few minutes at a time these days!

….and i think the little girl with specs and a white bow in her hair was called Barbara… but then again, that might have been her mother’s name? her mother is also sitting at the table.

The blue dress with white earrings, sitting down was Elsie Smith, but sadly, she & her husband Eira, and their son Geof all died some years ago

Probably June 20th 1967.

Your Nan & I shared a birthday and this was one of the few times I was at home, having been away at college, then working in London & Switzerland

I’m the one in the blue dress. My Mum, wearing a pale pink dress, (with hair ‘up’) appears standing later on

Also in there are Enid Clarke, Paddy May, Marion Halsey, June Petherbridge, Phil Spencer etc etc

They were Mum’s ‘Whist Girls’, who played whist on Friday nights, rotating the venue between them all, for over thirty years.
