Clwyd memories

Father's Birthplace

My late father, Clement Leslie Chandler, was born at Pontybodkin in 1896. The family home was No 1 The Nant (the house was still standing when I visited in 1996).

Fathers Date of Birth

Childhood Memories

I have very happy memories of a childhood spent in Mynydd Isa. I was only there for 4 years ('72 - '76) but I crammed a lot of adventures into that time! My friend Audra and I used to go cycling down Rose Lane and look a the 'haunted house' across the fields, never daring to go inside. (It was an old wooden building, derelict at the time). We spent many hours at the bonk! - the local playing field, and would walk up to the building sites in Buckley and climb in and out of the clay pipes.

Little Mountain

Hello, I am serching for any info on my dad, Charles Howarth Shone who lived on Little Mountain Road around 1945 - 1970. His father was Charles (Charlie?). They were related to Cyril and Olwyn Shone who lived on the opposite side of the road. I believe he went to Hawarden Grammer School and used to catch the train. Another relation is Tom Shone - I believe married to Gwen. Apologies for the vagueness but when you are young details don't sink in and as you get older you realise it's too late. Many thanks.

Dear Mr.Kirkham,
I beleive that you have been a previous companion of my grandfather, David Harris. He tells me that you have once injured him at Caergwle castle with two more friends and had a rather violent game. You even thought that you had killed him!

He was evacuated to Bryn Tirion and joined your school. A few months ago we have spent a whole day looking for you and we didn't find a thing! Please get back to me at Charlie@childcarerecruitment.co.uk or see my website www.charliebig.piczo.com
Yours sincerely,
David Harris's grandson,
Charlie Harris.
