Dear Sylvia and List
I consulted my brother who is a railway enthusiast about this and he wrote as follows:
"This is the trackbed of the line from Lime Kiln Sidings at Risca to Markham.
Prior to the building of the railway this was known as 'Hall's Tramroad'; it was built to connect the collieries belonging to Sir Benjamin Hall in the Oakdale area with the Monmouthshire Railway and Canal Company in the Ebbw Fawr valley near Risca. It opened in 1805. The lower part from Penar Junction to Risca was converted to a railway in 1912, the upper portion having been converted in 1886. Penar Junction is where the line met and crossed the Pontypool Road to Neath line (closed 1964).
The part of the line around Newbridge was only ever for goods and shut once the colliery at Oakdale was closed. It is probably being obliterated by later developments such as the A472 though presumably Penar Tunnel (beneath part of Newbridge) remains. The names of some of the nearby streets in Newbridge are of interest, for instance Tram Road Side, Halls Road and Pennar Street."
Hope this helps.
Regards
Jane Dyer

Hi
Can anyone please tell me anything about the railway line that ran through
Newbridge going towards Pentwynmawr somewhere where the new relief road runs
up above Blaen Blodau street. I can remember the line going past (or near) a
pub called the Mason`s Arms(known locally as the Dusthole(?) but where did
it go from there?

motor-cycling from Gloucester to his home, and was crossing the causeway just
outside the city when he failed to notice that half the roadway was up for

MILK SHORT OF FAT.-Penarth Bench Suspect Fraud On Sellers.
George Henry CHURCHILL and Reginald John CHURCHILL, Penarth, milk vendors, were
charged on Wednesday with selling milk 24 per cent, deficient in butter fat.
Mr. F. J. L. GRIBBLE, who was defended, stated that about July this year his
clients purchased a milk round. Some little time later defendants became
suspicious of the quality of the milk they were receiving, as shoals of
complaints were being made by customers. Mr. CHURCHILL (senior), said Mr.
GRIBBLE, wrote to the public analyst, Swansea, who referred him to the police.
"As far as my clients are concerned." Mr. GRIBBLE said, "they sold the milk in
exactly the same condition as it was received."
Police-sergeant LETHERING said he took a sample of the milk from the source
of supply, in addition to one from defendant, but found the former to be quite
good.
In response to a request from Mr. GRIBBLE, witness produced a letter addressed
to Superintendent D. G. MORRIS from the elder CHURCHILL, who asked what
procedure should be taken against the suppliers of the milk, who, he had reason
to believe, were supplying milk which had been tampered with.
Mr. W. Jones THOMAS (presiding) observed that the bench considered defendants
had been victimised, but they could not overlook the fact that a technical
offence had been committed Defendants were ordered to pay costs.

I am seeking info on a John Sheppard born UNDy about 1740 who married a Mary in 1763 and died in 1802. Who were his parents and where did they come from, as I am unable to trace them in the Undy area.
Many thanks Phil
Thanks to John Ball for bringing us again the notice of the misuse of
eminent domain over what they call "disused burial grounds" in his
Retrospective Images of Grug Glas Chapel Burial Ground. . I guess it
is a matter of definition what the term "disused" means. I see those
burial grounds, even though neglected, as indeed very much in use.
It is happening in most so called industrialized countries.
We all have our varying opinions about the disposition of our earthly
remains. If one has the need and interest in cremation, that is
certainly all right. But as for graveyards with monuments, I'd prefer
a few more decades until we reach total dust.

TREORKY DEATH BY BOILING WATER.
Mr. R. H. RHYS (coroner) held two inquests at Treorky on Wednesday. One of them
concerned the three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur CLARKE, 10,
Cardiff-street, Treorky, who died of scalds, received by falling into a tub of
boiling water on Saturday.
The mother stated that she was about to bath the child, and put her to sit in
a chair. She poured the boiling water into a tub on the floor, and left the room
to fetch cold water. On returning she found the child suffering from scalds on
the shoulder and back. Mr. EVANS, who lived in the adjoining room, heard a
scream and shouted to the mother, and, on rising from a sofa where he was
resting at the time, collapsed owing to a heart attack, and could not render any
assistance.
A verdict of "Accidental death from scalding" was recorded, the Coroner
stating that if there had been cold water on the spot there would be no risk.
The other Treorky inquest was held upon Richard William MORGAN (58) a ripper,
of 90, Tynybedw-terrace, Treorky, who on Friday was found hanging in the
adjoining building by his fourteen-year-old-son.
Evidence given by the oldest son was that his father had been low-spirited
for the last seven weeks.

unsound mind."

JOKE LEADS TO FIGHT-Cardiff Man's Seven-Inch Razor Wound.
Joseph WUALLY (38), fireman, pleaded not guilty to wounding Louis BROWN, with
intent to do him grevious bodily harm on August 19. Mr. Ivor BRACE (instructed
by Mr. Sydney JENKINS) prosecuted, and Mr. Hopkin MORRIS, M.P., defended on a
dock brief.
Mr. BRACE said that when WUALLY walked past in Loudon-square, Cardiff,
jingling some money in his pocket, BROWN remarked to him in a jocular way, "Have
you been robbing all ?" Prisoner took offence , a fight ensued, and then WUALLY
rushed into the house where he lived, and emerged with a razor in his hand.
BROWN turned to run into another house for safety, but before he could get
there he was caught by accused. BROWN sustained a wound seven inches in length
and half inch deep, which necessitated the insertion of fifteen stitches.
Prisoner alleged that the trouble originated over some gambling, and that
BROWN attacked him and he drew the razor in self-defence.
Prisoner was sentenced to six month's hard labour.
LATE MR. J. THOMAS, CARDIFF.
The Revs. Ambrose LEWIS and S. ROBINSON officiated at the funeral which took
place at the Cardiff Cemetery on Tuesday of Mr. Joseph THOMAS, 121,
Allensbank-road, Cardiff. Services were conducted at the house and
Woodville-road Baptist Church, as well as at the cemetery. The Rev. John THOMAS
(rector of Canton and Provincial Grand Chaplain) conducted the Masonic service

Walter LEONARD, Wilfred THOMAS, and Fred THOMAS (nephews), W. J. JACKSON and G.
LEONARD (brothers-in-law). Frank RICHARDSON (nephew), Frank JENKINS, Ronald
JENKINS, J. FORD, and J. FORD (junior).
CARDIFF WIDOW'S WOUND- Former Lodger's Razor Attack.
William CONWAY (38), labourer, was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment
for wounding Mrs. Winifred THOMAS with intent to do her grievous bodily harm.
Mr. Kirkhouse JENKINS prosecuted, and Mr. J. F. POWELL defended on a dock
brief.
Mrs. Winifred THOMAS said she was a school cleaner and lived in
Kerrycroy-street, Cardiff. She was a widow with four children. Prisoner had
lodged with her for about two years and a half. He left her house in March of
last year to marry a woman next door. His wife died in January, and he was
anxious to return to her house, but she could not take him in. On October 29 she
left her house to go to work, and saw the the prisoner standing on his doorstep.
He followed her, and in Jane-street got her by the shoulder and cut her on the
neck.
In cross-examination, complainant denied that she was jealous of prisoner
being married, saying, "I could have had him myself if he had been a man."
Dr. W. G. WILLIAMS said the wound just missed two important arteries, and if
it had been a fraction of an inch lower down it might have been fatal.
Prisoner in evidence, said, "We were like lovers, but we were always
quarreling." His marriage was the cause of jealously on thepart of complainant.
Once he took a Pier-head jump on to a boat to get away from her.

VAN-DRIVER SUED.
Cardiff Woman's Story Of Street Accident.
Mr. Alexander Jenkin McGREGOR, grocer, Rosemount-terrace, Cardiff, and his wife,
Mrs. Emma McGREGOR, claimed damages for personal injuries sustained on November
20, 1925, by the female plaintiff on account of the alleged negligent driving of
a motor-van belonging to the defendant, Mrs. Ellen CARE, provision dealer, also
of Cardiff. Contributory negligence was set up in defence.
Mr. Kirkhouse JENKINS (instructed by Messrs. WALDRONS) was for the plaintiffs,
and Mr. Trevor HUNTER (instructed by Lewis MORGAN and Co.) defended.
It was stated that Mrs. McGREGOR was crossing the road in front of her shop
when the motor-van, driven by defendant's son, knocked her down. She received
injuries to her back, left leg, and left arm, with the result that she was
confined to her bed for 21 weeks, and now had to use a stick to walk with.
Cross-examined, witness said she was carrying a basket of potatoes and a dead
mouse-(laughter)-at the time. She did not turn back at the moment, nor did she
hear the motor horn of the van and that of a motor-cyclist coming in the
opposite direction.
The hearing had not concluded when the court adjourned.
SOLICITOR'S PROTEST.-Magistrate's Remark At Caerphilly.
During the hearing of a case under the Emergency Powers Act at Caerphilly on
Tuesday, Mr. E. W. HAMMOND (Pontypridd), the defending solicitor, submitted that
the police had made a mistake.
Mr. Joseph HOWELL (the presiding magistrate): You are not going to bluff us.
Mr. HAMMOND: I am going to ask you to withdraw that statement I am not
bluffing in any way. I don't wish to be offensive.
The Chairman: Well, I withdraw nothing. We have heard a lot of offensive
suggestions here to-day.
Mr. HAMMOND: You have no right as a magistrate to say that.
The Clerk (Mr.R. J. EVANS): If you are going to call witnesses, Mr. HAMMOND,
you had better do so. You must not insult the magistrates.
Mr. HAMMOND: I am not doing it , but no bench of magistrates is going to ride
rough-shod over me. I wont have it.
Mr. HAMMOND then called witnesses who denied the allegations given by the
police in evidence. The defendant, William JONES 22, a labourer, of Llanbradach,
however, was fined £10.
Police-constable ROWLANDS had stated that while escorting working miners home
JONES threw a stone which narrowly missed him.
Wm. KIDLEY 22, labourer, Llanbradach, was fined £10 for a similar offence, in
this case the missile was a tin.
