ELLIS TABLE WATERS RUTHIN
TRYING TO FIND ANY INFORMATION OR PHOTOS OF MY GREAT GRANDADS FACTORY ?
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.
Happy Holidys
1942-1955 - my very happy annual holiday from London with my Nain & Taid (Hannah & John Roberts) at Dystell House in Llanwrog. We used to carry water from the" pistyll" at the top of the field and where Captain their horse grazed. Prior to moving to Dystell House they farmed at "Galchog", my Uncle Dafydd and Auntie Liza took it over afterwards. My cousins, Albert and Henry, used to take me for milkshakes at the "Milk Bar" in the square and my Uncle Ted (their father) would take me to the cattle market which used to fascinate me coming from a "city". Happy memories! Nain moved eventually to 27 Borthyn, where we still went for our holidays. I can remember "Hafod" Dairies and the lovely Flower Shows, and Tom Edwards who was a postman and friendly with my Auntie Dinah. Also walks through "The Warren" from Galchog down to Pwll Glas Golf course and then back via Mwrog Street. My Taid died in 1946 & Nain... Read more
Shoemaker, Well Street, Ruthin
Anybody have any information on my third great grandfather and grandmother Thomas Davies born in Llanbedr abt 1832 and Mary Davies born abt 1837 in Upton, Liverpool He was a shoemaker in Well Street, Ruthin. They had a son and a daughter Mary Jane, and Robert Owen Davies. Mary Jane is my second great grandmother. I know Thomas' father was Hugh Davies and Jane Davies from Llanbedr. I have no idea how Mary Davies (nee Jones) came to live in Ruthin and marry Thomas, and all I know is that she stated on census that she was born in Upton, Liverpool. I don't know what happened to Mary Jane's brother Robert Owen Davies born 7th December 1868 either, he was on the census 1901 aged 32 and living with my widowed 3rd great grandmother at 7 Llanrhydd Street. Would love to have info as to what happened to Robert, and any info on Mary Davies.
Wartime Years in Llanarmon Yn Ial
Shortly after the outbreak of war, my Father who had a pet shop in Wallasey, evacuated the family to Llanarmon. We consisted of Dad, Mum, my brother Ray and myself.
We moved into Rose Cottage in the village, and my Aunt Ann and husband George moved into a cottage down the side of Beech Cottage which was next door to us.
It was so peaceful and safe there. My father travelled to his business every Monday and returned on Saturday night.
I started at the village school (Ray was too young) and always remember Miss Wynne who travelled to school on an old "sit up and beg" bicycle. She was very stern looking, she lived on a farm down the back lane past a chapel with a broken column in the graveyard. The headmaster was Mr Vaughan Roberts, a very charismatic person who believed in fairies and took us to the Nant to show us where they were, on one of our many walks looking at worms and insects.

Moving to Graianrhyd.
My parents Joyce and Ellis Jones moved into the village shop and cafe, Y Fron, during the last week-end in October, 1969. My brother, David, and I had viewed this move with varying degrees of intrepidation as we were leaving a semi-industrialised area for, at the time, a remote, isolated hamlet. We were to start a new school, Brynhyfryd in Ruthin and to make new friends. We made plenty of new friends but spent very little time in school because from that first week-end until the first week in June we had a fall of snow almost every week which prevented the school bus from reaching us in the mornings but encouraged the children of Graianrhyd to participate in a wide variety of winter sports!! What a winter wonderland with snow to the top of the hedges forcing people to travel to the shop on foot, on horseback and tractor in order to stock up on their food supplies and to catch up with the local gossip.

Village Life
My first visit to the village of Llanferres was in the mid 1970s visiting relatives. Walking to 'Fairy Glen' and surrounding fields, hills, woods and farmland, I was in heaven and still am after 30+ years living in the beautiful little village with its pub 'The Druid Inn', perfect to sit out with a drink and take in the view or sample their excelent food.
Not too far are 'The Miners Arms', Maeshafon, 'Loggerheads' pub and park, and 'The Colomendy' pub at Cadole.
The memory of 1950s is a DVD taken from a cine camera in the early 1950s including a few carnivals, the 50 minute film is in colour but silent including views and many local people, some working on the construction of the Village Hall.
The church is worth a visit and has not changed in all these years except a few more residents.
John Almond has published books on local flora & fauna etc.
The main changes are that the road... Read more
