My eldest daughter and her family went to Barmouth today by train.
As they were out for the whole day, my wife and I went to their home to let their Staffordshire bull terrier out.
Taking her for a walk around Cradley Heath in the Black Country, where they live, I was pleasantly surprised to see a house called Nant Mynydd.
Then, on the way back, I noticed that the one next door had the name Craig-y-don.
I’d love to know the story behind that.
Just seen typo!!
Craig-y-don…
I knew what you meant to say. It’s a common name
My uncle and aunt, originally from Port Talbot lived in Bilston in a house they named Crag-y-don, and when they moved to Gloucester the house there was also so named.
And my house, named by my Dad, is Pen-Ton…. ‘brow of the hill’ named after a house also just down the road from where my grandparents lived in Port Talbot….
Interesting, Steve.
Craig-y-don is a common name for houses.
I’ve been saying since we moved in, I need to give ours a Welsh name!
