Your Help Needed!

We are very grateful to all those who have taken the trouble to write in and who have given us stories, reminiscences and poems. These are all worth sharing, and we will be serialising some of them, with the authors' permission of course.

In turn if you have anything that you want to share, or have any queries on what has been done, please get in touch and if you want a reply, please enclose your email address or phone number.

About Us

We are a group of local people who are enthusiastic about creating an archive of the Garw Valley’s industrial and social history.

Respect Our Work Please!
