Dear List,
Hind sight is 20/20 -- Should you photo copy before any donations??
However, I'm sure like Wendy, you would like to think your donation
would be in good hands for the Local people of Barry or any other town,
city or village.
I don't know, maybe someone can shed some light on this?? If you donate
to the National Library of Wales -- eventually it is documented. Is this
the best avenue? Or Local -- In Wendy's case, I'm sure like many more
over all the UK. Papers held, not documented and gathering dust, who
knows where they have been sent.
I am sort of in the same situation. My Dad, a local Historian.
Collection is huge!!! Books, photos etc. I have told my Mum, not to let
anyone in the house, do not give anything away. If my Dad has made
provisions in his will, so be it. If not, and he goes before my Mum. My
interest is in the well being of my Mum. It could be the case of
bringing it all back to Australia. None of my sibling's including my Mum
have no interest. However, I can't keep my Dad's work in Australia! So
sell, sell, for the best price!
If the tables are turned (this is a horrid thing to talk about) my Dad
is the last -- it could end up the same scenario? Or a complete
collection to the NLW???? for a price. I would have no control on what
my siblings thought's or situation would be. I just hope Dad has made
provisions.
When the time comes, I just hope I do the right thing by all concerned.
A lot of scanning!!
Regards
Jane M nee Clemett( W. Auss)

I too visited the 'Living History' project at the Memo, and found quite a
few things relating to my past. But as you say what happened to it all, is
there anyone from Axis that can put light on the subject??.
Barry and the Vale have been screaming out for years for some sort of
museum. But for some unknown reasons of their own,the councils ( both ) have
not listened.
The area is so rich in history it's sad to see it being ignored.
(sorry to rant .I've had my say, that's it,thank you.)

Subject: [GLA] BARRY HISTORY
Today's posting by Martin re. AXIS reminded me that I donated my late
mother's Barry mementoes to the short-lived 'Living History' project while
it
was located at the Memorial Hall.The last time I enquired as to whathad
happened to the items they had collected, I was told they were allstored
'somewhere in the Valleys', presumably never to be seen by anyone
interested
in them.
I still fee quite upset about this, as the items included a couple of
things Mum had kept since girlhood, and a list of names from a collection
fund
on behalf of soldiers WW2, which my gt. aunt had been connected with..At
the time I thought I was 'doing the right thing'by donating them, and I
hope that AXIS might be able to retrieve them, along with the rest of the
collection.

WESTERN MAIL FRIDAY DECEMBER 10. 1926. No. 318.
CARDIFF MINISTER'S 80th BIRTHDAY.
The Rev. William HARRIES, of Clare-street, Cardiff, celebrates his eightieth
birthday this week. Born at Llandeloy, Pembrokeshire, he was trained for the
Baptist ministry at Haverfordwest College, and held pastrorates at Marloes and
Sandy Hill, Saundersfoot, Maesteg, and Cardiff, and for the past nineteen years
has been the Nonconformist chaplain at the City and Ely Lodges.
He was also for many years the financial secretary of the Baptist College.
Mr. HARRIES is hale and hearty, attends to his duties as well as those of the
chaplaincy at the Whitchurch Mental Hospital.
LORRY OVER BRINK OF MOUNTAIN.
While travelling in a motor-lorry over the Black Mountain from Brynamman to
Llangaddock, Mr. Marshall MORRIS, of Penybank, Ammanford, met with an alarming
accident.
He was accompanied by his man, Owen REES, and, after they had passed a
hair-pin bend and were going down the road on the Gwynfi side, the vehicle
dashed over the brink and down the steep mountainside for a distance of 30 to 40
yards, where it still remains.
Both men were able to jump clear and escaped injury, and the lorry was not
damaged.
WANTED, strong, willing Girl, Farmhouse; able to milk.- JENKINS, Talyfan,
Ystradowen, Cowbridge.
Mrs. D. HUISH and her pupils, the Beaufort Magnets, gave a charity programme at
the Market-hall, Brynamman, in aid of the Town Relief Fund.
FRAUD CHARGE FAILS-Cardiff Travellers Who Ordered A Car.
Without calling on the defence, the Cardiff magistrates on Thursday dismissed a
charge against Henry FARMER, traveller, Cardiff, of obtaining by false pretences
a motor-car, valued at £160, the property of the A. T. MORSE Automobile Company
(Limited), Charles-street, Cardiff, with the intent to defraud. Mr. Charles
HARDWICKE prosecuted, and Mr. Harold LLOYD appeared for the defence.
Arthur Thomas MORSE, 35, Stacey-road, Cardiff, managing director of Morse's
Automobile Company, told the court that FARMER showed him a business card of the
Wholesale Fittings Company (Limited), Bristol, and ordered a two-seater on
behalf of his company. He was told that the car would be released when the
cheque was received, but he was lent a car in the meantime.
Some days later FARMER produced a letter, which he doubled up, and the witness
read a sentence which ran "Regarding the car, there will probably be a dely of a
day or two before the cheque is forwarded." The letter convinced witness, and he
made out a receiving paper for the car, which FARMER signed on behalf of the
Wholesale Fittings Company, and took the car away. As the cheque did not arrive
witness wrote to the Wholesale Fittings Company, and, later, saw the managing
director when as a result of what he said, a warrant was applied for.
The case was dismissed as stated.

You might mean 'Capel-Y-Porth' which was situ on Porth Street, Porth.
The chapel, Welsh Independent/Congregational, was located next to the Police
Sation. It was demolished many years ago and there is now just a empty
space.
Take a look at my website www.pillars-of-faith.com and you will see a
photograph of the chapel as it was in its prime.
As Jill states, there are other chapels in Porth and most of them still
stand today in one form or another.

Hi Evelyn,
I presume that you have a document or someone has told you that they married
or etc., at Porth Chapel? This is most probably Cymmer Chapel, Porth.
Strangely I have not added this chapel to my Welsh Chapels website, but I
would think that this is the chapel you mean. The chapel has now closed.

MASONIC TRIBUTE.-Gift To Ex-Alderman J. MORGAN At Merthyr.
Ex-Alderman John MORGAN was honoured at the Masonic Temple, Merthyr, on
Thursday with the gift of a portrait in oils of himself from the Fforest Lodge
(Treharris) of Freemasons, for whom he has acted as secretary during the past
fourteen years.
The painting, which his from the brush of the well-known Welsh artist, Mr.
Carey MORRIS, was presented ex-Alderman MORGAN by Mr. D. J. JONES, P.A.G.D.C.
(Deputy-Provincial Grand Master), to mark the recipient's attainment of the
distinction of Past Assistant Grand Director of Ceremonies of the United Grand
Lodge of England.
Gifts of two replica's of his portrait were made by ex-Alderman MORGAN for
display at Merthyr and Treharris Masonic Temples.
Ex-Alderman JOHN MORGAN holds a unique Masonic record. Initiated in the Loyal
Cambrian Lodge by the late Col. D. R. LEWIS in 1890, he was installed Worshipful
Master in 1900. Since then he has held 22 principal chairs. He is the founder of
25 lodges and a member of over 50. He has received the Ancient and Accepted Rite
(33 degrees) and the ninth degree of the Societas Rosicruciana. In the Supreme
Grand Chapter of Holy Royal Arch Masons he holds the brevet rank of Past Grand
Standard Bearer, and the distinction of Past Grand Deacon in the Grand Lodge of
Mark Masons of England and Wales.
He is also a patron of the Royal Masonic Benevolent Institution and of the
Masonic Benevolent Fund of the Eastern Division of South Wales, and a
vice-patron of the Masonic institutions for boys and girls.
Ex-Alderman MORGAN became a joining member of the Fforest Lodge in 1909, and
after passing through the offices of Director of Ceremonies and Senior Warden,
was installed Worshipful Master for 1912-13. The following year he deputised for
his successor Col. C. RICHARDSON-WHITE, D.S.O., who had meanwhile embarked on
war service. He further took over the lodge secretaryship.
Mr. John S. STANFIELD, S.W., was installed Worshipful Master at Thursday's
function in succession to Mr. Sydney G. COLLIS.
KILLED BY GRAB.-Fatal Accident In Fog At Newport.
A verdict of "Accidental death" was recorded at an inquest at Newport on John
William SELF (53), 56, Cyril-street, Newport, coal plant foreman, employed at
the Newport Power Station, who was killed when struck by a grab on Tuesday.
Mr. A. FOTHERINGHAM was present as H.M. Inspector of Factories: Mr. W. G.
MENHENNICK (from the office of Mr. Thomas JOHN, Cardiff) represented the
corporation, and Mr. H. NEWMAN, Blaenavon (National Union of Enginemen,
Firemen,&c.) was for the relatives.
Dr. John Francis NICHOLSON stated that the cause of death was a rupture of the
heart.
Henry CARDELL, Dolphin-street, Newport, crane-driver, said that early on
Tuesday morning fog greatly interfered with vision.
SELF apparently put out his hand to steady the grab, which appeared to strike
him in the chest, and he was knocked against a wall.
Stephen George JAMES, leading stoker, stated that the grab came out of the
ashpit with a big swing, and its movement towards the power house wall must have
been totally unexpected by SELF.
John Patrick.
The 'Cambrian' of 19th October 1860 contains several items from the
'Glamorgan Sessions' which seem to have taken place sometimes in Cardiff,
sometimes in Swansea. Only items in Glamorgan Assizes referring toe West
Glamorgan are normally extracted to the Index, but it is possible that there
is an account in the 'Cambrian' of any interesting cases from Cardiff,
Merthyr etc which were tried there.
However it appears that the April and October Quarter Sessions were held in
Swansea in 1860, January and July presumably being in Cardiff, and the
October sessions started on 16th October.
If I can I will have a look at the court report on 19th October 1860 and the
following week to see if it is mentioned.
My guess is that the justices concluded that the case against her was flawed
or fabricated, and not only discharged her but also wanted the fact of her
discharge made public. Magistrates discharged prisoners if their accusers
failed to appear, or if they judged that the case should not have been
brought, as far as I can tell.
A search of the 'Cambrian' on Discharged Proclamation, all words yields 16
examples, from 1823 to 1841, all, as far as I can tell, at County Sessions
or Assizes, rather than lower courts, and several where theft was alleged.

Hi Wendy and all.
The project Wendy makes reference to was called "Living Archive Centre For Valley And Vale".
Quite rightly Wendy points out that it was short lived. Again rightly. As I was also led to believe. Items which they had collected were storred elswhere for a time. I am also led to believe, that, all they had collected on Barry was returned to the keeping of the then Old Barry Library.
As an organisation, Axis, was assisted by relatives of a former member of our society to managed to seek and succesfully get the return of a collection of slides and an old camera. This was something. But not all that had been donated to them by said individual. The slides and camera along with many items that our former member gave to us. Still reside with our collection. I know that Barry Library did make a formal annoucement after Living Archive Centre returned Barry material to them.
It outlined a set period of time in which if anyone wanted an item formerly donated L.A.C. returned. This would have been some years back now. I am also led to believe at the time. Barry Public Library was endeavoring to catalogue items returned. So, if such cattalogues exist. Wendy may have a starting point to trace her Mother's items. However. With a formal annoucement in place. Such items would now below to the library as the period of grace for return would be long expired. But, it may mean that Wendy could obtain copies of said items from Barry Library. (if still available). It might be the way forward.
Living Archive Centre was a well funded project. With paid staff, And, a totally separate organisation to ourselves. Therefore, we held, no controls over their operation or any Barry related historical material they may have held. Or what should happen with it on L.A.C.s demise. On the other hand. Axis Historical Society has always been completly run by volunteers who have had no opportunity to exhibit our own extensive collection Barry held historical material on a long term basis in such a premises. A chance, the L.A.C. had, but did not bare fruit. The fact that a project like L.A.C. could fail, with sound financial backing, only serves to make Axis, rightly cautious, to who, what, and where, we should commit our own extensive local history collection, when asked for our support.
Our online project. Axis Historical Society - Barry Archive. Is not associated in any way with the former Living Archive Centre For Valley and Vale. As we had no permanent base for our own extensive Barry stock, we decided, the net was the best way to go. That way, people could see more of what we had more frequently. It has also empowered our support to take decision to donate actual / or copy items for use with our collection.
For those who don't want to risk actual items. An file in JPG format is quite sufficient for display on our web site. And to make a copy for our records. Though we still have the genuine article donated to us from time to time as can be seen from the photogrpahs of the fire damage to the Barry Memorial Hall c.1943 we have recently added to the site. So we have an an excellent ballance of genuine and copy which formed the building blocks of a very good collection. Still present. for Barry, since we were formed in 1993. Now going out to all in the world via the net. In 2011.
We sorry that my post served to remind Wendy and made her upset re her Mother's donated items to Living Archive Centre. However, I hope my information will put her back on the trail of her Mother's treasured items.
