Hi Huw,
Enjoyed the Ogmore Vale snow pictures very much. Thank you.
On another subject. Read today from the Glamorgan List Archives the
following report:-
Western Mail Tuesday November 9 1926. No. 165.
MEN UNDER FALL OF STONE-Quarrying Tragedy at Nantymoel.
One man was killed and two men were injured in an accident at a quarry on
Bwlch-y-Clawdd, Nantymoel, on Monday. James NIBLETT, of Lewiston, Ogmore
Vale,
William WILLIAMS and James RICHARDS also of Ogmore Vale, were working in a
cutting from which stone is being taken to construct the new road from
Nantymoel
to the Rhondda, when a loose joint gave way and about two tons of stone slid
down the quarry face.
NIBBLETT was killed instantly, WILLIAMS sustained minor injuries, and James
RICHARDS sustained an injured foot. The quarry belongs to the Western
Trinidad
Company.
My Grandfather laboured on the building of this road, a three month stint,
to give the striking miners some money to help them out, so I was told. I
wonder if you have any details of the history of this valley link road
coming into being.
Regards,
Margaret Davies
