"very interesting book 23 January 2015
A lot of world.put into this book"
"Having lived in Cwmbran since I was a baby and only ever knowing it as a commercial New Town I found this little book quite fascinating. The focus of life AND death in those times seems to have been the canal, the railway and alcohol! You can see why Health &Safety regulations came into being. Some stories are tragic but many are an amusing insight into life in late 19th c Cwmbran"
"Really pleased, nice to read something that has grown from our little village of Cwmbran it is so different from Victorian Cwmbran now it is a 'New Town'"
"This is an excellent and very reasonable book, a fascinating glimpse of sad and amusing Victorian life, whether or not you know Cwmbran. You wonder how we can grumble about modern living when you read most of these stories."
