Currans were a family owned group on companies.

Founded before the first world war they contributed to the British war effort during both wars.

They also made steel shell cases for the US Navy during the Viet Nam war.

Currans Cartridge Factory (CCF) which made shell cases for the Army and Royal Navy was as with their holloware factory which manufactured pots and pans, enamel bowls, tea caddies etc located in Hurman Street. The site upon which the factories were located was during the late 90's and early 2,000's replaced with housing and flats.

Currans Admiralty Factory and its' attending Brass strip mill / foundry, which made both brass and steel shell cases for both the British and American military was located in Curran Road. The building still remains and although dilapidated is now multi occupancy. This factory as with the CCF did during the second world war employ female workers, who in addition to the locals were bussed in many miles from the Welsh Valleys.

There were also many smaller and larger factories within the Curran Group, such as Currans Foundry Division which made Tank tracks and the associated pins. John Curran which although independant made aircraft parts and test gear.

Sadly the group is no more

This is taken from the store locator of the Ann Summers website. It actually says that Liverpool is closer but this is only true if you were to travel in a straight line... and that would need a boat! Chester is closer.

'very' = 'iawn' in Welsh. It must come after the adjective, for example 'very important' would be 'pwysig iawn'.

'Dw i'n briod' means I'm married. If you want to say who you are married TO then you'd say: 'Dw i'n briod â David' (for example). The little â literally means 'with'.

320 Miles :D

There is no town in Wales called Stithian- you must be referring to St.Athan in the Vale of Glamorgan.

The area was originally settled by the Romans, and Roman coins have been discovered buried in fields nearby, although the indigenous Welsh village is said to have grown up around a monastery and school that were established there by the Irish monk Tathan, who was blown off-course whilst sailing to Wales in 540 A.D. and who ended up running aground at Portskewett in Monmouthshire. Others claim that it is named after Tathana, the grand-daughter of Welsh nobelman Meuric ap Tewdric, who lived a humble life as a nun in a mud hut on the banks of the River Thaw near to the villages mill-house. She helped establish the monastic school at nearby Llantwit Major and is buried in the church there.

The 18th Century Welsh bard and poer Iolo Morgannwg claimed that the name is a corruption of Saint Tathan, who was the daughter of the King of Gwent during the first Millenium.

The name St. Athan is relatively recent, as in the early 16th Century it was known as LLANDathan, with the Norman-era church dedicated to Tathana.

Nowadays it is the site of a large RAF base, and also has a prominent soccer team who sometimes rank high in the Welsh football league. It also has a large golf club.

Yes it is.
