I met people on my holidays and I came to see them. are no tunnels, underground workings or dumping of industrial waste The main thing it is lacking is a massive employer. Lots of parents were struggling with their own literacy levels and there were lots of obstacles and challenge that come with poverty.. caused by the storm 25th December 1979. Things were happening all the time then with the police getting called.. have any information on the Gurnos Tower? Diane Jones, 21, and her daughters Shauna, two, and 13-month-old Sarah Jane died when petrol poured under the front door of their home in the Gurnos Estate, Merthyr Tydfil was set alight. // -->
