Ystradgynlais History
@ystradgynlaishisty.bsky.social
The history of Ystradgynlais and the surrounding area, in the Swansea Valley. Ex part of Breconshire, now Powys. South Wales. This includes the neighbouring town of Ystalyfera, and we also cover the war dead of both areas, as well as the Gough squires
My tutor in King Alfred and Charles the Bald, 1989-91, and a remarkable teacher at that. Where others might knock you back, she encouraged you, saw parallels you were trying to make and why, and my dissertation was a bizarre joy to research and write, on Alfred's nobility

Thank you! Interesting 1969, that means that the money that my Dad got from Will towards his house in Leeds must have been a gift of some sort rather than an inheritance,
