Nostalgic memories of Rhiwbina's local history

Share your own memories of Rhiwbina and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I have lovely memories of summers spent at my parents' rented house in Rhiwbina Square, a suburb of Cardiff between 1957 and circa 1961). Wonderful neighbours (I particularly recall the Shepherds who had a son about my age), piano lessons, roller skating, painting classes all on the Square. Picnics on the beach. Don't know if it's my imagination but I recall the houses around the Square as being mostly white. Happy childhood summers. Does anyone recall the place and the time?
