Moss Hall, Gresford

The Plough c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I am just remembering Moss Hall and Mr and Mrs Yaylor and their son Stan who lived in a cottage near the copse, and how at a night time you would stand outside and listen to badgers crying, it was really such an amazing place, the memories which are still fresh in my mind. I wonder if anyone in Gresford would still remember them, in fact their granddaughter still lives in Gresford, her maiden name was Pauline Yates, she later married Ron Smith. The last time i saw her was in 1985. She has a sister, Patricia, again I have not seen Pat also since 1985, in fact it would be nice to know if anyone knows of or is friends with them, if so could you please contact me. I may have left Gresford very young but I will always be Gresford born and bred.

RE: RE: Moss Hall, Gresford

Just wondering Philip, if you could give me a map reference to the location of Moss Hall, as my great-great-gGrandfather lived at Flash Hall, which is next to Moss Hall on the censuses, but which I haven't been able to find, or maybe you know where Flash Hall was?

Thanks
Patricia

Pauline Smith is my grandmother, she now lives in Rossett but her 2 daughters live on the same street as she did when she was a child.

Does anyone remember the twin girls who lived in Newtown? Their mum and dad had a shop there, I think their names were Angela and Wendy, their last name I can't remember. Also does anyone remember Valerie Cook? They were all friends of Pat and Pauline Yates, does anyone know of them? Kind regards, Phil Kersey-Smith
