Carreg Dafydd

Concerning the earlier post by Martin Woodhouse regarding Carreg Dafydd, my brother currently lives there having moved there three years ago. If you are coming from the Marli direction you pass the school on your right and then Sinan church and road junction on your left. Just before the council houses in Glascoed you turn left on to the road to Llannefydd. The lane up to Carreg Dafydd is about 200 yrads up the road on the left. There is a small sign at the gateway.

My Days as A Child

I used to stay with my Nain and Taid during the school holidays during the 60's and early 70's. Taid was Owen Hugh Evans who was the Game Keeper during that period. The Game Keeper's house was in a wonderful location, with woods to the rear of the house and the Bryn to the front of the house. Taid loved his job and he used to take me everywhere with him when he could. One of his main jobs was rearing baby pheasant chicks, which I used to enjoy immensly, whilst staying there. The whole area to me was a great adventure playground, I had no problems spending time on my own, in fact I used to resent going back home to Worcester, the woods, the Bryn, the river and the local council houses are still as fresh in my mind as it was then. I miss Nain and Taid, especially Taid, he was a special person who had time for anybody and was loved and respected by everyone. I... Read more

Coming Home From China

Elwy Bridge 1890
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

Elias and Polly Owen came home from Shanghaiand lived at No 3 Elwy Viewand Iwas able to aquaint myself with all my St. Asaph family and see them for the first time, she only lived a few months and then Elias packed up and went off to Australia, but I remember it well, I had three families there, my mother was from the Palace Lodge, the Halleys in Central Buildings and the Owens from the Red Lion,so between them all family history became alive to a child from Brynymaen.

Looking For Rob

My name is Margaret Wynne.  I am writing this on behalf of my sister Christine Jones (nee Parrington) who was a nurse at St Asaph Hospital in the 70's and there was a fellow in St Asaph named Robert (Rob) who was interested in my sister and she would like to contact him again.  They used to see each other in pubs.  All she can remember is that he was a council worker (refuse collector).   Christine married Peter Jones and they lived in Rhuddlan.  I would be grateful if anyone knows Rob or if Rob himself contact me.

Bridge Over The Elwy

My name is Dennis Shatford, once known as Dennis Roberts, as lads we used to sit on the Elwy bridge so we could watch the minor accidents that would happen because the drivers couldn't see the Halt sign by the old deanery. I remember PC Morris chasing me for scrumping apples from the deanery gardens. I was brought up in Llwyn Elwy. There were such a lot of characters around then. I should add I was born in 1944 and left Llan 1962/3.

Careg Daffydd

My grandparents, Harrry amd Amelia Fieding, moved to Marli from Rhyl where Harry built boats; he continued to do so at Marli between (about) 1935 and 1949. Careg Daffydd was a cottage on its own, down a track and at the edge of a wood; had no electricity; a path led down through another wood to a footbridge over the River Elwy.  My brother Hugh and myself - aged between six and ten years - used to walk from the cottage to St. Asaph to shop.   (There was a small Post Office in Marli itself, run by Miss Williams Post.)

I keep looking on the maps to find Careg Daffyd itself, but no luck thus far!

I was born in Denbigh Infirmary in January 1944. My father, Emlyn, was in the army at the time, he was the son of Abel Jackson, a local decorator. My mother came from Huddersfield. They married Boxing Day 1942. My GGF was Daniel who came from Glasgow. He worked at Coppy Farm, Henllan Road. Daniel married twice, his second wife was the cook at the Hawk & Buckle and he helped serve beer to those who bet on the cock fights.

The cock pit is now at the Folk Museum in Cardiff.
