Gwynedd memories
Bethesda Memories
I used to rock climb in the area during the 1960's with my friends.
Not that I was a good climber, but I loved the rugged freedom of the mountains. I also have memories of a young girl from Gerlan who was very nice to me. Her name was Sylvia.

Manchester House Stryd Gerlan
My grandfather, W R Edwards moved into Manchester House from Tal y Bont in the Conwy valley with his family, a wife and 4 children around 1910. He ran the grocery business from the shop also dedelivered groceries to the local inhabitants, having to negotiate the steep streets! My mother, his 3rd child, took my sister and I to Gerlan in the late 1940s and early 1950s to visit my grandparents. I remember the wonderful views from the back of the house. My parents were married in the Calvanist Methodist Chapel in Stryd Fynnon on Boxing Day 1929. The Chapel now regrettably has been demolished. I did however take photographs of its interior and exterior many years ago. My maternal great grandfather Thomas John Hughes oif Bethesda worked as a miner in the Penrhyn Slate Quarry. Gerlan, for me, will forever hold special place in my heart. Dr Brian Garston, Southport.

She died in 1954 and I returned to live in Chester with Dad though I spent holidays at Halfway up to about 1964, including the long summer breaks. I always loved Halfway with Uncle Id and Auntie Lal, but is only when adulthood crept up on me that l began to appreciate fully my 'Swallows and Amazons' childhood, and the many things I learned courtesy of my surrogate parents (learning to swim in the icy Ogwen pools, how to 'whip' a fishing rod, about the use of slate in coffin making. Uncle Id was undertaker, postmaster at Halfway Bridge PO, carpenter, river bailiff for Penrhyn Estate (landlord of Halfway), and organist at Talybont church. I began my school life at Llandegai village school in 1953 and still remember finding life difficult as a non-Welsh speaking 4 year old so much so that I have vivid memories of... Read more

Pre-Fabs
I was a child in the pre-fabs at the top end of Maesg and wonder if anybody else remembers them?
Maesgeirchen Prefab's
I was born in the prefabs in Maesgierchen. I was Brenda Freeman, my father was Charles Freeman, he was born in Bethlan Bach in Bangor - his father, also Charles Freeman, was born in Bangor. My grandmother, Elizabeth Freeman had a market stall in the old Bangor market. Would be most interested if anyone remembered any of my family.
