Phoebe
"Granny" Kent was well known in Bream early in the 1900's. "She was renouned
for her home-made bread, made in the old wood fired oven and also for
her home-made nettle "Pop" (1). She was originally from Cwmbran
and worked in iron ore mines at the age of nine. She died at the
age of 92 in 1939.(2). The house I believe is in Cox's Way, Bream. Her
son Joe is commemorated on the Bream Cenotaph. There are several photos
of another son, Jack, on these web pages.
