Childhood Memories
I used to stay with my nain in Clawddnewidd and have very fond memories. Mrs Watson lived next door and used to pop in every night with some fruit for us. At that time there was a top shop run by Mr Lake and his wife, they were always so nice to us. We used to go to the chapel for service and my nain and a few other villagers used to pluck pheasants. My Uncle Emrys lived in Nant Farm and used to call at nain's every morning with fresh milk from the farm. We went on many walks picking rasberries for nain to make a pie but my favourite was always her ginger cake. I was told never to go to the pond at the bottom of the village as it had a whirlpool in it but of course I had to find out. Once a year there was a show and my nain always dressed up in her Welsh lady outfit. I still visit Clawdd now to... Read more
Clwyd memories
Going to School at Llanelidan
I went to Llanelidan school in the 1950 s with my cousin Gwyn Rowlands from Sowrach, I was from Betws yn Rhos, Colwyn Bay.
Cyril Evans
Does anyone remember my father Cyril Evans, and his family. I think he left the village around the 1940s at the age of 14???
My Uncle And Auntie
My Uncle Brian and my Auntie Doreen used to live here along with their 4 girls - Lynda, Pam, Debby, and Trisha I will never forget the first time we visited - coming from then the built-up area of the Wirral, we lived near Port Sunlight, it was like going back in time - the little post office, the shop full of tellies, and the weather-boarded houses. We stayed for a weekend, visited the school, and listened to the service going on in the chapel, while we paddled in the stream (which was freezing!) What was the name of the nearest pub? - a happy childhood memory My Uncle and Aunt moved, first to Ellesmere Port, and they now live in Ewloe. If anyone remembers them, drop me a line.
My Childhood in Merllyn Cyffylliog
My parents lived in Merllyn from 1947 till 1996 when they had to leave. An idyllic childgood with many characters about....Dic Dun who wnadered about and slept in hedges, a fascination to a child. Will Tom from Glan yr afon who was a mine of information to all. Tic, a southerner, a mystery man who lodged at Nanw Jones. Cyril Jones, my friend Hafwen Dad. Bryn Williams who was the minister and had a lovely voice. I live out of the village and lived next to Fachlwyd Hall which was empty most of my young childhood, which to a imaginative child was full of mystery and lovely plants in the gardens.....tennis courts and stables with the remains of tobbacco plants drying in the out-houses, also kennels. Later our good freinds "The Smiths" lived there. John Hughes and Aunty Bess and their son Ifor lived at Fachlwyd Farm and Ivor and Hywel lived at Fachlwyd Ucha where we used to get fresh butter and real... Read more

Clwyd Sanatorium
My grandmother's father had TB and there are letters from him to my grandmother from Clwyd Sanatorium Llan Bedr Hall, Ruthin, North Wales. I was wondering if anybody knew anything about this place or had any photos. Sadly he returned home and died between 1916 - 1918.
