1372053 2014-04-06 07:00:00 Hi Poppa John, would you kindly have a look at this photo (i30.photobucket.com) and tell me what the place name is, if you can read it or recognise it please? I am assuming it is in Wales and I *think* the second name is Tydfil but am not sure. Hopefully you will have some idea!

Thanks!

Foxy...nothing leaps into my mind but I will keep looking

I read the name as David James, yes? What year are you talking about? There is a Merthyr Tydfil but cannot see the second word anyhere near. Do you have any more inf? PM it if it is sensitive. More writing would help to decipher it. PJ

Wow, that's a handy list, thanks! I think I have tracked the name down to "Llangeitho" but still unsure if the last name is Tydfil. Will have to keep looking.

1372058 2014-04-06 09:43:00 Try entering variations of the placename in Google Earth searchbox.
I just tried "Tirphil" and the location came up straight away.

1372059 2014-04-06 09:50:00 Good tip, thanks for that too. Will give it a try.

Have you always been based in Cardiff or only moved there fairly recently? I don't remember you being anywhere other than in NZ.

1372061 2014-04-06 11:01:00 There is also a town called Merthyr Tydfil (which I visited many years ago on my OE, hence recalling the name). It might not be the tydfil you want, but I recall that this one was famous as an iron producer and was at one time the biggest source of iron in the world. It has long since ceased iron production.

Cheers

Well, how is that for good timing?! Happy birthday to you today! :happybday :D

I can't believe that I have never noticed your location before, unless perhaps it hasn't always been in your profile? I always thought you were in NZ. :blush:
