Gethyn Rees sent us this
photograph and tells us
"My Great Grandfather is
seated centre front row and his name is Alfred James Williams born 3rd Feb
1887 and lived at 22, Dowlais Top. He was a grandson of Mary Ann Dyer of the
Tredegar Arms.
The Lad, back row far right is a mate of his and was known as Morgan Ty Top
by my Mum as he lived in the top house of Station Terrace. That's all we
know of them in the photograph! The plaque on the back wall says Feb
1899 VI."
