Today is the 100th birthday of Richard Burton!

And this house is his birthplace, in Pontrhydyfen. You'll know the viaduct behind him; he's crossing it with his father in the iconic 1950s photographs by Raymond Kleboe

This is Bryn Carpenter, ex-collier, who lost his son Desmond 59 years ago today, in the disaster at Aberfan. His daughter Jean, who survived, was a lovely lady; she was very helpful in getting Bryn to be interviewed. You can watch my interview with Bryn here www.youtube.com/watch?v=siWH...
