1951-52 at The Hall top of
Crescent Street.
This photograph was sent in by Marie
Galeozzie she states:
"The photo was taken about
1954 at the
Hall, (top of Crescent Street, Merthyr Vale). The hall was used by the
children for parties, rainy days and special occasions. It is possibly a
party for Morlais Buses. The children are
from Merthyr Vale, and on the back of the photograph it states "South
Wales Press and Picture Agency' Eric Warrilow, Merthyr"
My mother, Susan Cresswell and her sister,
are sat in the second row (bottom of photo) with their 2 aunties and 2
cousins - all dressed the same!" |
