Fascinating stuff! I scrolled through the 1911 Census and discovered places I'd never heard of! It seems Mount Pleasant had 13 houses and was sandwiched between Bryn Hafod and Bryn Goleu (I remember them on Bryn Gwynt Lane!) and Graiglwyd - which I had never heard of and have no idea where it is. After that came Bryn Mor and then the Quarry Blacksmith, Mr Nuttall, at Curwen Cottages. I have no memory of a Blacksmith at all - but there again, by the time I came along, the quarries were all but closed down and there were buses and trams, effectively putting the poor old blacksmith out of business!
I often think it must have been a heck of a shock to someone like a blacksmith, who probably came from several generations of blacksmiths, to suddenly find themselves no longer needed!
There used to be a farm at the back of Mount Pleasant - any know its name or who owned it? And there used to be a somewhat ramshackle hall about #6 or #7 Mt Pleasant, in which as children we used to put on 'shows'. All sadly gone now, but those shows of ours put Alex Munro to shame, I can tell you!
Happy days....
Oh, Hugo, you are so right about certificates! I've a few sitting in a bottom drawer that I came to grief on!!!
