Happy Days

On The River Gele 1890
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This photo shows what was known as the black shed just above the first bridge on the river Gele, to the left of the photo was the school field at the bottom of Berth Glyd where I was born. If you go up Gypsy Lane you will come to an old stone bridge, this bridge is known as the first bridge, which is one of four that crosses the river Gele, as you follow the footpath on the right-hand-side of the river heading towards Rhyl where the Gele flows into the river Clwyd, I used to hand tickle wild brown trout in the Gele river when I was 9 years old. Happy days. If Kenny Lamb or any of the lads who went to school with me in Abergele are reading this, they will remember me and my lurcher dog Rex. Still poaching, old habits are hard to break.

RE: RE: Happy Days

I remember going for walks with my brother Phil Mason (he passed away Nov 11 2007 - pancreatic cancer) along the River Gele on Saturdays....it was always an adventure, crossing the river and ending up in farmers fields!! We used to play with friends in the "Mount" too...There was a huge tree on the river bank that we all used to climb and play on. I lived in Clwyd Ave. Abergele, but now live in Toronto Canada. Happy Memories with my brother and friends.
