Oh No! Not the dreaded Attica CD again!!!! Mine made a satifying thud as
it hit the bottom of the bin....
In this case (just one of many) the names of Rhymney and Tredegar have been
interchanged and the place in question is spelt Troedrhiwgwair (you can
passably pronounce it as it looks, Troyd-Rhoo-gware).
A Landranger map No 161 does a far better job, and doesn't stick yet more
dll's in your hard drive!

On my Attica Ordnance Survey atlas it's at SO156069 just off the
A 4048 to
the south of Rhymney and close by a village called Troearhiwgwair. How
on
earth you say it I can't imagine!
My Grandfather, who SKS has just found for me was born at Bedwellty in
1861. Presumably his Father worked in the pits along the valley road.
The Attica CD is a useful tool for searchers, I don't have any connection
but I won mine as a prize from a computer mag and it's invaluable. I have
seen them in Office equipment shops here in the UK but that's not much
good
to overseas listers. I could try scanning the specific location map
and
sending it as a JPEG or GIF image, how about that Watergardener? Contact
me
direct if you want to know more or if you want to try the
attachment.
