Hi Anthony
Just spotted your thread and would like to welcome you.
Thing is, until 30 years ago, I lived just over the road from you in Tylcha Fach! Moved to Cheltenham as I'd found a better job.
Cheers but!

My missus' family have been around this area for years, her father was Howard Bailey, her GrandMother Phylis was the sister of Boxing Legend "The Tonypandy Terror", Tommy Farr.
Take it easy fella.

Ahh, the Coed Ely Constitutional Club! Spent many a night in there as my house was about 70 metres away up the lane next to it! There was always a weird and wonderful selection of punters in there including the local bookie who had the shop next door to the club back then. Always reminded me of Boycie on Only Fools and Horses. Insisted he was going on holiday to the Seashells (sic)! Originally Posted by mowfow71

I was never a boxing fan much to my father's great disappointment but I have heard of Tommy Farr of course.
Take care but!
Gareth
