Can anyone help? My late Mothers home as a child, was known as "The Pop Factory" at Abercarn. I understand that it was the home of Corona pop. Grandfather Samuel Jones (wife Clair) worked for the Forestry Commission. Children Phyllis, Gwen, Ada, Mervyn and Oswold. Unfortunately Oswold became a patient in an Asylum in Aberganney. Any help would be appreciated
