Some readers may recallpassenger trains passingthrough Risca, Rogerstone andBassaleg pulled by locomotivesbearing the initials L.M.S.(London, Midland and ScottishRailway). They carriedpassengers between theSirhowy Valley and Newportuntil the late 1940s. From NineMile Point (near Wattsville) thetrains ran over track of theGreat Western Railway to gainaccess to Newport. Nick-named ‘The Cockney’ it rannon-stop from Risca toNewport.The right for the L.M.S. to ‘invade’G.W.R, territory goes back to thestart of the 19th century when theTredegar Iron Company, havingbuilt a tramway down the SirhowyValley, made an agreement withThe Monmouthshire Canal andRailway Company for throughrunning to gain access to thewharves on the River Usk atNewport. The two tramways werejoined ‘end to end’ at Nine MilePoint, near Wattsville.Tramroads preceded railways andwere local enterprises. Thesetramroads had cast iron ‘L’shaped rails and the wagonwheels did not have flanges.Wagons and later carriages weredrawn by horses but steamlocomotives were beginning toappear in other parts of theBritain. The Tredegar IronCompany began hauling wagonsof iron to Newport in 1805 butover 20 years later and havingbeen aware of the success ofsteam haulage in other parts ofthe country, the Companydecided on a change.The following appeared in theMonmouthshire Evening Post of2nd February 1912. ‘It was not until 1829 that recordsshow that a locomotive was used
on Monmouthshire lines and itmay be said, its first appearanceon any part of what is now theGreat Western Railway. Thisengine was introduced by Samuel
Homfray of Tredegar Iron Works.He was the son of a father of thesame name to whose wager withRichard Crawshay of CyfarthfaIron Works; the world is indebtedfor the contest that broughtTrevithick’s locomotive to notice.Mr. Homfray purchased an enginefrom Mr R. Stephenson and Co.(Newcastle – upon – Tyne) whichstarted running from Tredegar IronWorks in 1829 but it was not untilthe December that it travelled theSirhowy and MonmouthshireTramroads into Newport, adistance of 28 miles.’The inaugural run was not withoutincident as a letter to the EveningPost later told.‘The day previously, my fathersent two men down from
Tredegar, one with a hatchet anda saw; the other with a ladder anda gauge. They had instructions ‘tocut all branches of’ (along thetrack from Tredegar to Newport).The men got as far as Bassaleg(just two miles from destination)and ‘went on the spree’ at a localpub. When Stephenson’s Flyercame, the drivers thought themen had cleared the way throughto Newport but a low branch inTredegar Park, Bassaleg, was hitwhich knocked the chimney offthe locomotive.’Thomas Ellis is part of the story ofTredegar Ironworks, a nameborne by father, son andgrandson. The oldest ThomasEllis was instrumental withSamuel Homfray in bringing threeof Stephenson’s locomotives tothe ironworks and tramroads.Later his son supervised theconstruction of a further ninelocomotives for the ironworks andthe tramroad.The middle of the 19th centurybrought the conversion of thetramroads into railways. Thenfollowed purchase of the Sirhowyline by the L.N.W.R. (later formingpart of the L.M.S.) and the linethrough Risca, Rogerstone andBassaleg by the G.W.R.

“Keeping You

a quick Google search reveal that many of those could date from the early part of the 20th century.
with “…ERCAR…” on it. It was probably a bottle from the Gwyddon Vale Mineral Water Company that operated in Abercarn from 1880-1920. The bottle itself would have been a Codd bottle made by Cannington & Shaw in St. Helens, Lancashire.
None of us is an expert on the history of glass, so
date back to Victorian times. We have also had a second foray onto the hill with
him and found a great deal more. Together we will be
will publish it on our website in due course.I can promise you we won’t be pursuing the person
who dumped any of these bottles, or their descendants,
will we still be able to claim back the deposit?Terry C. Evans, Chairman CTS
CTS meet at the car park below Twmbarlwm’s summit for a litter pick and volunteer workday on the last Sunday of every month to which everyone is invited, it’s not all
around up there. We organise walks and other events up the mountain and at Crosskeys RFC throughout the year so watch our website and Facebook page for details. www.twmbarlwm.co.uk
A few examples from the “Twmbarlwm hoard”
Our litterpick at the end of April was very well attended, which allowed us the opportunity to split the group of volunteers and get a gang to the top of the mountain to do a job we have been planning on doing for the past few months.
That task was to pick up the vast amount of broken
summer. Clearing away the glass was needed for both public safety and the fact that it presents the potential
summer sun.Half a dozen of us spent a couple of hours up there
and each of us collected half a bucket of glass shards. I must stress here that we all used pick-up sticks and thick gloves – picking up broken glass can be an extremely hazardous task if not tackled with care and it’s not an exercise for small children.
When we got the glass back down the hill I just couldn’t bring myself to simply dump it all in the recycling for collection, so we sifted through it and found that each shard must reveal a part of our social history. To our inexpert eyes much of the glass was quite thick and with a green hue to it, suggesting it is of considerable age and giving us further proof that people have been climbing Twmbarlwm with their picnics for many generations.
The bottles were all shapes and sizes – there
there was also some examples of Codd-Neck bottles – a type of bottle that used a glass-marble as a stopper.
On many pieces you can make out parts of words such as:- “..aber…”, “…rtons…”, “…ercar…”, “…BRO…”, “…miner…” – and we spent a while guessing what some of these could be.
The most common wording we could decipher on the shards were “Newport and Merthyr Bottle Co.” and

SWAN RESCUE
As I’m sure you appreciate ‘it’almost always starts with atelephone call; ‘Is that SwanRescue?’, to which the answeris, of course, ‘Yes’. Usually,what follows is perfectlystraightforward; help is neededfor a swan, a goose, a duck, orat this time of year, a multitudeof ducklings. Occasionally thequestion asked is surprising;‘will you help - my dog (or cat)needs rescuing. This one isfollowed by a pause for breathand then the statement ‘we’revery sorry, but the clue is in thename SWAN RESCUE, whichtends to bring the conversationto an abrupt end! On thisoccasion, second half of April,it really was completelydifferent, a first; an Osprey. Thecaller is an employee of WelshWater based at the string ofreservoirs to the west of theA470 between Merthyr Tydfiland Brecon. It was reported tobe unable to fly, but insteadwas fluttering helplessly behindthe dam wall of the middlereservoir.Because of other commitments itwas left to the locals to catch thecasualty, which they were able todo quite easily. We then met theirdriver at Pwll-y-Pant to the northof Caerphilly, and from there to
the only organisation capable ofcarrying out the necessaryassessment and follow-uptreatment, the InternationalCentre for Birds of Prey (ICBP) atNewent in Gloucestershire (verywell worth a visit).The initial assessment was mildlyencouraging, a few primaryfeathers damaged and somestrain to the wing, but no brokenbones. This was confirmed thefollowing day on a visit to a worldrenowned bird of prey vet atSwindon. Once back at Newent,work was started on repairing allbut one of the damaged flight
feathers. This involved cuttingthem and inserting into the shaftand gluing in place bambooslivers, obviously very carefullyaligned and waiting for the repairto set.The next development was aphone call just five days after therescue to announce the bird reallywas raring to go, simplyastonishing. As with the rescueitself, it was disappointing not tohave been part of it, so with therelease, but for obvious goodreasons it was right and properthat ICBP staff should takecontrol of this. The release wentvery well, actually on the sixthday. Those who work on thereservoirs report the bird stayedaround for most of the rest of theday, but there was no sign of himthe following day.This bird was ringed, so we knowa bit more about him. He wasringed as a nestling on 2nd July2014 on The Black Isle,Inverness. This species migratesfor the winter to The Gambia,West Africa, and so must havebeen returning to the breedinggrounds when some accidentbefell him. It is so gratifying tohave been involved, and to havethe hope we may havecontributed to securing a longand healthy life.
And Now for Something Completely Different….

Luftwaffe Drop Bombs andLeaflets on Rogerstone
'Hitler's Last Appeal toReason'During two Luftwaffe bombingraids over South Wales on theevening of Saturday, 3rd August1940, one stray aircraft droppeda quantity of propaganda leafletsover Rogerstone: the leafletswere printed English copies of aspeech given by Adolf Hitlerbefore members of theReichstag, Berlin, on 19th July1940.
An Early WarningThere were two early sirenwarnings during the late hours ofthat Saturday evening, thesecond warning lasting aboutthree-quarters of an hour. In duecourse the sound of high flyingaircraft could be heard overheadand the pilots received a 'warm'reception for the night sky aboveRogerstone was soon lit by theflashes of anti-aircraft guns andsearchlights.As the bombing raid abated,Rogerstone residents onceagain heard a warning siren andagain fearing another air-raidthat night sort safe shelter. Astray aircraft was seen flyingoverhead and the residents laterreported to the authorities ofseeing ‘bombs’ dropping buthearing no explosions!The following morning localpolice and air-raid wardens,while investigating possibledamage to local properties,discovered propaganda leafletslittered about the district. Oneleaflet was caught in a treebranch and the Argus reported:'there was competition for thiscopy'.
A Last AppealThe leaflets dropped andcollected were each of fourpages measuring 12 inches by18 inches. The cover page washeadlined: 'A Last Appeal toReason by Adolph Hitler: - ASpeech before the Reichstag,19th July, 1940.’One bale of leaflets had failed toopen and nearby there wereslats of wood held by strands ofwire used to hold the bundle ofleaflets together. In another localdistrict, leaflets were scattered infields and hedgerows while inExeter a quantity of leaflets fellon a sewage farm.A railway employee, working anight-shift at the marshallingyards close to Rogerstone’saluminium works, recalls a baleof leaflets crashing onto the roofof a ‘gangers’ shed located nearthe rail-sidings. The bale ofpropaganda leaflets landedheavily, crashing through the tinroof and rebounding off theshoulder of a workmate whowas sheltering in the shed. It
was recorded that the ‘ganger’suffered from mild shock andbruising but soon recovered tocontinue his duties.Local police and militarypersonnel hurriedly scoured thedistrict in an attempt to collectand destroy the leaflets beforethey were read by the localpopulace. Quick-action byRogerstone’s residents andrailway-yard workers hadhurriedly spent Sunday morningsouvenir-hunting by climbingtrees and walking thehedgerows in order to add thecollected leaflets to their war-time scrapbooks.
For the Benefit of WarCharitiesSome days later the SouthWales Argus reported twopostmen had also collectedpropaganda leaflets only toadvertise and sell the leaflets tosouvenir hunters. The twenty-five shillings proceeds weredonated to the British WarCharity!Not to be outdone, leafletsdropped over Rogerstone werecollected by residents and latersold by Lady Seager from a stallon the roadside outside herhome at Castleton. It wasreported that a considerablesum of money was raised tosupport the Newport and CardiffSpitfire Fund.A leaflet dropped on Rogerstoneduring the night of 3rd August,1940, can be viewed in the WarRoom entrance at RiscaMuseum which is open everySaturday from 10am to12.30pm.
Leaflet recovered by the late Mr. Reginald Parsons. Donated by Mr. Alan Parsons to Risca Museum.Article written by Malc Johnson.
