The website for Ebbw Vale County Grammar School

We think the website is excellent, topics are easily accessible and the content of much interest to past students. We, his fellow old codgers and future generations will be eternally grateful to Alan for his effort in producing this website."

Unofficial Garden Festival

After living in Ebbw Vale all my life I have now started to take a great interest into the history of the events and making of this town. This web site in particular focuses on one event I believe should never be forgotten. The Garden Festival of Wales in 1992, the last British Garden Festival was hosted in Ebbw Vale in 1992 to help regenerate the area. There are big questions to be asked over this, like why Ebbw Vale? Such a small town in the middle of South East Wales, so how was it the town that won the bid? Hopefully this site will answer all your questions
