Mums family are from the village, I have wonderful memories of staying with my grandmother at Aran Lane, which is at the bottom of the street on the right. On hearing a train, I used to rush out into the main road to see the train going over the railway bridge. My great uncle Tex had the... [more]

Gwynedd memories
Good to see that you have the view from the bridge, my aunt and uncle lived in the house on the left, which is called Ty Newydd. Many happy memories of tea time visits and playing and fishing in the river with the cousins. I helped my Uncle lay his drive, which 34 years later is still in good condition. ... [more]

I know this view very well, as my aunt and uncle lived in Ty Newydd, their garden led down to the river on the right hand side of the photo. Spent many an hours playing in the river and fishing with my cousins, never caught anything!

Stayed here with my parents in August 1966 when it was a Christian Guest House.
If there had been a fire it would have been a death trap!!

My mum and dad retired to Llandderfel and lived in 'Plas Onn' by the bridge - a lovely home. Sadly it was a time of family tragedy and they didn't stay long - Mum was born and lived in Wales until her 20s and she was still classed as an outsider by a few of the locals which hurt her so... [more]

The caravan park owned by Mr Pughe
In 1972 when my parents had a caravan on Mr Pughes site we had a Sprite Muskateer owned first by my grandad, Lesley Fellows and his wife Louise. I have very fond memories of the caravan site, and can still remember all the old caravans there.

This photo is fairly unique since it shows the Camp at Bryngolau, Trawsfynydd, where the Royal Artillery Summer Camp was located for 2 years from 1903 before establishing a more permanent camp 2 miles south at Bronaber in 1905, where it remained until about 1958.

Conwy, Denbighshire and Flintshire Photographic Memories
William Gladstone laid the foundation stone for this impressive building in 1899 and donated his library of 250,000 books; after his death his family built a further wing in 1906, to the right of the porch block, to provide accommodation for resident students. It still thrives today as a place for reflective study, and ensures that Gladstone's legacy continues.

The path beckons the visitor to venture into the woods to discover the story that this castle might tell. The large keep peers over the trees in a show of strength, but the castle was mostly in ruins when this photograph was taken, and the gardens were as much the attraction to visitors as the castle was.

Conwy, Denbighshire and Flintshire Photographic Memories
Noted for being the home of William Gladstone, who is commemorated by the water fountain on the right, Hawarden has a long history. The scene here is little altered today. The curious row of arches beyond the hotel are said to be the site of the medieval shambles or shops, and some are now converted to a bus shelter. The horses and carriage perhaps wait for visitors from the entrance to the old castle.
