Gwynedd memories
I used to work and study in Manchester for several years in the 1960's and frequently travelled back to my home town of Hatch End to see my girlfriend, Angela Chapuis. Sometimes she would come up north to see me. One wet weekend in April 1967 Angela and I set off from Manchester to visit North Wales in my old car.... [more]

I believe this was a classed as a boating pool. I used to bring my father's 1930's model steamboat here and run it to the amazement of onlookers. There weren't many model steamboats around in the 1950s although they have since become more popular. The old steamboat is still with me and still gets an occasional run. Toy yachts were the...

William Gladstone laid the foundation stone for this impressive building in 1899 and donated his library of 250,000 books; after his death his family built a further wing in 1906, to the right of the porch block, to provide accommodation for resident students. It still thrives today as a place for reflective study, and ensures that Gladstone's legacy continues.

The path beckons the visitor to venture into the woods to discover the story that this castle might tell.

Noted for being the home of William Gladstone, who is commemorated by the water fountain on the right, Hawarden has a long history. The scene here is little altered today. The curious row of arches beyond the hotel are said to be the site of the medieval shambles or shops, and some are now converted to a bus shelter. The horses and carriage perhaps wait for visitors from the entrance to the old castle.
