I think it's very possible that my Father and his Sister attended this school as they
lived in Treharris at this time and were aged 9 & 11 years - another part of their
life that I knew nothing about.
Thanks - Gwen

Thanks for that very interesting info Josephine - my ancestors were

Hi Gwen and Listers,
You may be interested to read a first-hand account of the 1913 Tornado
written by the headmaster of the Senior Boys' School in the neighbourhood:

Further evidence is given on the following web page, where the
headmaster's name is noted as B.P. Evans:

The 1913 tornado was not forgotten in the locality. I remember being shown
old sepia postcards of the devastation the tornado brought to
Edwardsville, when I was in Trelewis over a quarter of a century ago.
Josephine
