Gwynedd memories
Llandrygan
I was born and bred in Llandrygarn, I lived at Cwter Hywel, I've really only got good memories of my childhood living in Llandrygarn, when you consider that you had to make your own entertainment.
My friends were a group of lads including Sion Tryfil, Arwel Cwm, Neil and Dylan Llynfaes. Apologies if I left anyone out! The fact that Sion lived on a farm meant there was never a shortage of activities and adventures, everything from self-made obstacle courses to carrying hay bales at Ynys Stodyn, as we grew older these adventures including climbing at Gwyndy quarry which with hindsight is something I wouldn't my encourage my kids to do un-assisted now. Obviously hardly anyone ever dared to go to Gwyndy ruins, what with its tales of haunted headless dogs complete with rattling chains!
Den making, fighting the 'Germans', running, and ditch-jumping also proved high on the agenda and you wouldn't dream of leaving the house without your trusty penknife, for nothing more malicious than to cut... Read more
Tracing Family, WARING/STOCKER/LEWIS
I am trying to trace my family tree, my father was Alan Waring, his brothers were Gillie and Wally Waring. There was a sister called Dulcie Waring, she married GERALD LEWIS and they had a son called Gerald, I was told he was living in the Anglesey area and may still live there. I would love to get in contact with him and find out more about my family. Hope to hear from anyone who can help.
1960s
We moved to the village in 1967 and lived in Garden Lane and Plas Maen. I have fond memories of the old school and childrens clubs in the village hall. I well remember when the fish and chip shop first opened in the village and people came from far and wide, not only for the chips but to stare at Jimmy the owner because he was the first coloured man that they had ever seen!
Liverpool Pilots
Fond memories of going to Amlwch Port to play as children and walking along Llancarw to Llaneilian with two or three younger children tagging along with us, and waving to the pilots as they moored outside Almwch Port.
Borth Amlwch
I am now in my mid 80's. I lived in Borth from the age of about three until eleven years at 23 Well St (Lon Wen). This was during the days of the depression and conditions in the port were grim. Many of the men had joined the whaling fleets and as they sailed past North Anglesey from Liverpool the families would gather on Llam Carw and wave tablecloths. At the bottom of Well Street, just above the park, there was a fish and chip shop owned by a Mr. Pierce. There was a lane by the side of the shop where there was a pump from which we obtained our drinking water. Close to this pump was a sweet shop. Across the road on the southern side of the park there was a bakery and alongside of the bakery was a lane leading to a place I knew as 'Gwaith Paent' where the was a type of turret in a pond and a big square cement erection. Where Craigydon... Read more
Home Sweet Home
I first found the hamlet of Llanelian some 15 years ago after visiting Anglesey on a regular basis for the last 25 years. I found the peace and quiet of the area very pleasant. The walks are refreshing and the views from Porth Eilian are wonderful. The church is one of the wonders of the area.
I work in Wilmslow in Cheshire and now commute to Llanelian MY HOME SWEET HOME!
Thank Goodness For Ancestors.
To date I have not visited Llangefni. My Grandmother Ann Williams was born there, in 1869. Her Mother's name was Ellen Edwards, born Amlwych c1848. fathers name was Rowland Williams. Hopefully my Husband and I will be able to see, and spend some time in this beautiful part of Wales. My Mother was born in Merthyr Tydfil, so I am proud to say "I am Welsh too". Have a lovely day, and God Bless. Jeanette
