Gerddi Gleision became a post office in c.1904 and Alice and her husband were the first postmasters. The Bontgoch Post Office was run by the same family for three generations. It moved to another location in the late 1970s or early 80s. Mary-Ann Davies reputedly died in the house sitting in front of the fire.
