Steffan Nash, aged 29, is also from the area. He feels that getting outdoors is a big part of life in Caerau, and worries that other people will soon not be able to experience it. In the past, there were other railway stations in Maesteg. Llangynwyd Station used to lie on the Maesteg line a few miles east of where Garth Station is today, and Maesteg (Neath Road) was on the old Port Talbot Railway Line, but these are now closed. I am looking for any information on the McCann family who lived in the Maesteg area I also believe that they were associated with the Port Talbot area. I am interested in the period 1895-1920.

The Welsh school in Maesteg was established in 1947 in Yr Aelwyd, Commercial Street, Maesteg as a voluntary nursary school as part of a campaign to prove to the authorities a demand for a Welsh medium education in the area. In 1949 it transferred to the vestry of Bethania Welsh Baptist Chapel in Maesteg and, as some children were of school age, qualified staff were appointed including its first headteacher, Miss Nansi Roberts, a pioneer of Welsh medium education. ............................." It’s not easy. But I love this area and it means a lot to me - in my window upstairs you’ve got this view of the whole of the valley which is amazing." Michael showed me around his beautifully decorated house, which was brimming full of his memories. He knows all too well he is living a different life to some of the people who are just a stone’s throw away. When you come to Maesteg, your **** alarm will explode! Wherever you turn, there is always a **** there, either smoking, or riding a ****** old bike. The majority of *****, come from either Caerau (a sub-town of Maesteg) or Oakwood (a council estate based in Garth, another sub-town of Maesteg). You rarely see goth’s and emo’s in Maesteg, because of it’s high population of *****. There are two sides to every coin, and the village of Caerau is no exception. Sitting at the top of the valley, about two miles from Maesteg, the views around are you are striking. Its position too, naturally brings people together - with limited public transport miles away from the town of Bridgend, and places like Cardiff, you have to act as a community to help those who may need it most. And that's what it does best.

Thomas was married to Mary Edwards born 1843 in Dowlais and their children were Thomas, William, Margaret, Mary , Sarah and Ellen all born in Maesteg between 1874 and 1887. We moved to Queen Street when I was nearly 9, I carried on going to Plasnewydd School, a shorter walk thank God! I passed the 11+ on second list. My mother had our brother Robert (who now lives in Greece). Nice house but close proximity to the market meant on two rainy days we had two visitors - massive tarantulas! I now know they wanted the warmth and the first bedroom was mine, complete with airing cupboard. My brother had unwittingly brought one home under his coat in Bethania Street after bringing banana boxes home. The hub is equipped with a training room for courses, a job club and access to the internet to support people in their search for employment.
