Gypsy Castle Near Carno Bridge, Rhymney

A Memory of Rhymney.

My mother and her brother were born at Gypsy Castle. The family had lived there for many years and we have photos of haymaking in the 1930s etc. There were several houses standing at the time, in a group (5?). Only 2 remain, I believe. My g-grandfather Rees kept a smallholding as well as working at the colliery. My grandfather kept hens as well as working at the colliery as an electrician, and they had a milk and eggs round in Dowlais etc.  They went to chapel in Pantywaun where my grandfather was secretary.

My grandparents moved to Pembrokeshire in 1939 and I have always been interested to learn more about my roots in the Dowlais/Rhymney Bridge area.  Does anyone remember the Rees family at Gypsy Castle? I would be grateful for any kind of information.
