Joan & Fritz
I have many happy memories of visiting my cousin Joan at the Bridge House when I was young. I would go to play with Susanne & Erica when I was at my Aunty May's house (The Machine House) up the hill in Bersham. We would have some fun paddling in the river and play hide & seek in the garden. There were some little hidey holes in the rooms upstairs where we would play house. My grandmother lived for many years in the row of houses called Bunkers Hill which was just above the old school which was still in use then. My Aunty Nance & Uncle Tom also lived there and my uncle used to keep pigs on the land at the end of the row which used to be the old school gardens. Uncle Alb used to live down by the school where my cousin Den later lived. I have many happy memories of my visits to Bersham and am still very fond of it. Oh by the way Uncle Lloyd lived at Mill Terrace with Jack and at one time Uncle Harry lived in the Dole.

Hello Janet,
Just wanted to say that I remember your Aunty May. She was a friend of my Nan and Grandad (Stan and Alice Timberlake who lived at 5 Mill Terrace, Bersham) - they lived next to your Uncle Lloyd and Jack - who I remember well too.
I live in London now (for about 26 years) and I don't really have a connection with Bersham or Rhostyllen these days but I have very strong memories of visiting my Nan and Grandad there. I always loved it so much. What about you? Do you still live in the area?
Best wishes,
Jane Hann
