I wander does anyone know anything about the above. The accident happened on a foggy night in November 1948. A party of landgirls were travelling in an army lorry from their billet at Buttington near Welshpool in Montgomeryshire to a dance at an army camp at Nescliffe near Shrewsbury, Shropshire. The lorry crashed in the fog over a hump backed canal bridge at a place called Meardy and three girls were killed. their names were Miriam Bartle aged 20 from Castel Newnes, Pantydryw, South Wales; Stella Yvonne Lewis aged 21 from Pengwyn, Trealaw, Rhondda and Nancy Griffiths aged 19 from 107, Edward Street, Mardy, Rhondda Valley.
I found this out when I was researching a house I lived in a child which is on the site of the bridge now demolished. I have often thought about those three young girls and their families and wandered about their lives.
