Excellent site which brought back great memories of my youth in Morriston in the 60's. Remember drinking coffee in the Mayfair cafe on Saturday evenings and also the Regal cinema. Will return to explore the site more thoroughly another time. Keep ip the good work.

We were very interested in visiting your site after Carolyn's cousin Laurence Morrissey told us he had photographs on display. It is very interesting to see the changes that have happened to Morriston in your then and now segment.

Found your web site by chance and i must say that i have enjoyed the last hour looking at your member photos and reading up on your town, as a north wales lady i must admit that i did not no much about MORRISTON town but with all that you and your members have to offer with photos ect i cannot but be very inpressed with all the contents of your web site. I'm a 60 plus lady who last year decided to try to learn about useing a 35mm SLR CAMERA and find that it is very interesting hobby i do wish that i was living near your club as all your help would be greatfully excepted. best wishes from J A Phillips

I was born in Glantawe Street, I think 72, 73, or 75 (well, I was young at the time!)in 1951. My grandparents were Reg and Rebecca Jones and they had 4 children, Marcella, Douglas, Zena and Joe. Only Zena is still with us, but lots of cousins still live locally.

dear siri have lived in morriston for over 35 years and now live in the usa. what a relief it is not to have to walk in dog shit and spew from drunks the night before along the streets of morriston.woodfield stree is an armpit. it must be very difficult for you to find decent photographs to show of such a dump.

Treforys is not a welsh translation of Morriston (Morristown), the welsh name Tre-for-is (note spelling which then became Treforus) existed before the Morris family who without doupt were a major benifactor of the town arrived here. Tre-for-is was already hear as a small hamlet on the side of the then flooded valley. Town on the lower sea. Supported by Ynys Tawe, Ynys Forgan, (Ynys is Welsh for Island) Plasmarl (Promenade), Glandwr (Landore side on the water). Geologicaly the valley floor is well below the existing which became sillted as demonstrated by the shale at Ynys Forgan.
