Crynant is a village and community in the Dulais Valley in Wales. It lies 7¾ miles north-east from the town of Neath in Neath Port Talbot, lying between the mountains of Mynydd Marchywel to the west, Hirfynydd to the east and Mynydd y Drum to the north. Crynant is a long village, lying on the narrow valley floor and lower slopes of Hirfynydd. Originally there were separate villages , such as the region of Treforgan, but all have now merged into a single village. The River Dulais flows through the village.

Photographs of the Winter of 1963 - Britain's Big Freeze.

The winter of 1962–1963 (also known as the Big Freeze of 1963) was one of the coldest winters on record in the United Kingdom. Temperatures plummeted and lakes and rivers began to freeze over.
I have a vivid memory of this climatic event. Our family had been to a pantomime on the 26th December 1962 and we came out after the show, to a heavy snowstorm. This storm lasted fully two days and was followed by a great blizzard resulting in great snow drifts and blocking several roads and railway lines.
In January 1963, the sea froze for one mile out from the shore in northern Kent and parts of the northern reaches of the River Thames froze over. Temperatures plummeted with more snow coming in February together with gale force winds.....
