Clwyd memories

Trying to Find

This is not a memory. I am doing my family tree, My grandfather Albert Llwellyn Darke, lived in Gwersyllt late 20's early 30's . He worked at Russian Oil Products we believe in Gwersyllt. He was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident Boxing Day 1932 on the Whitchurch- Wrexham road. All we know is that he lived with his wife and son My father who was 3 weeks old when his father was killed. We think he lived at Beehive House, Hope Street Gwersyllt. Does this house still exist? Has anyone got a photograph? Has anyone got any inforomation on the RussianOil company? I have tried looking for details of this comapny on the net but with no success. If you can help me I would be very gratefull. Many thanks

ROP

my father drove for ROP in the 1930s and 1940s, the oil depot was sited were lLIDL now stands, his name was Ern Thomas. Price Beards also drove there. Presley ran the depot. Oil was delivered over north Wales,Lancashire, and Mersyside. Tommy Transports Garage was to the front of the depot, the old Co-op store stood to the right. My dad stayed on when Regent Oil Company took over, he reckoned it was the best job he ever had.

Wrexham Dairies

Does anyone remember the dairy in Pandy? It was Wrexham Dairies . I used to help out on the milk float that used to do the Rhosrobin run, also Gwersyllt. The woman who used to drive it was Joyce and on a Saturday and Sunday I used to help Jack dropping off and picking up the milk churns, also crates of milk, I never got paid for it, I just liked doing it, unfortunately not like kids today who can't be bothered to do anything other than play games or annoy people. If anyone reading this remembers the old dairy, please let me know.

The Globe Tavern, Castletown Road

does anyone remember the above tavern?

I was born there on 7th March 1951

My mum and dad Pat and Cliff lived there at the time with my grandparents Abel and Jean Jones

Nellie Burney

I was evacuated with my sister to Brynteg, Wrexham and lived with a Mr and Mrs Wynne at Holbourn Crescent. Mr Wynne was a miner. The  house I think, was a council  house. I also remember the AGIE! and aso the Cross Keys pub. I loved Brynteg.

Thoughts of This Lady.

Can anyone remember a teacher called Miss Miriam Roberts? The first class teacher for girls in the junior school Brynteg. The boys would have left infants school for Blacklane school in Pentre Broughton. She used to live across the road to the right of Plevins shop. I was born in 20 Quarry road Brynteg. My Dad was Frank Williams he was born in number 19 Quarry road. I really hope to hear from someone remembering this dear lady.

Original Owner of The Plough

The Plough c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

My Great, Great Grandfather, Thomas Evans was the original owner of The Plough. While doing some research into my family tree I discovered in the 1861 Wales Census that he was listed as a farmer(owner of 10 acres of land) and publican of the Plough Inn. He lived there with his wife Jane and son Robert and twins Edward and Eliza. Edward is my Great Grandfather. His son George immigrated to Canada but George's brother (another Thomas) lived in Gresford all of his life. I have more recent photographs of The Plough taken by my Aunt on a visit in the 80's.
