Nostalgic memories of Llanrwst's local history

Share your own memories of Llanrwst and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Market Place
I remember sitting on those steps with my Mother and sisters as we waited for the bus to take us to Dolgarrog to visit my Nain. That would have been the 1950 s. I still live in Llanrwst and have enjoyed seeing these photos.

Jones The Hand
My grandfather, David Livingston Jones, was born in Llanwrst. His family owned the butcher shop known as 'Jones the Hand' which stood on the corner in the market place. My grandfather joined the police force and moved to Manchester where he settled, married and raised his family.

My Stay As A Young Girl

Or possibly 1968, I grew up in Manchester and the school I went to organised a few days away, staying with local families. Our teachers came too. Myself and a fellow pupil stayed in a beautiful bungalow in a country lane in Llanrwst. I remember the name of the couple we stayed with as a Mr and Mrs Cresswell. They were retired then, I often think about them even though it was 45 years ago. My stay there ...see more

Bod Hyfryd Hall In The 1980s
I stayed several times when Sally and Roy Walker owned the house. They were charming and we became friends, although I have lost touch with them over the years. The house and gardens were lovely. Sally was an excellent cook - sorrel soup, salmon - and Roy an excellent sommelier. As I recall, they had a German Shepherd dog named Luger. Is the place still there? I don't find it listed as an active hotel or guest house. Bod Hyfryd Hall was my starting point for Bodnant Garden.

Gowers Bridge
Gowers bridge was not too far from where we lived and was a great place to take the children for a picnic, to learn to ride a tricycle and to skim stones across and see who won, then pick our way to Llyn Bwrw Eira, along the banks, sometimes walk to the swings in Trefriw, and back.  We lived in Plas Isaf and Heulwen Jones and her family came too.  It was harmless fun in lovely surroundings, and thus has a lot of happy ...see more
