Original Owner of The Plough
My Great, Great Grandfather, Thomas Evans was the original owner of The Plough. While doing some research into my family tree I discovered in the 1861 Wales Census that he was listed as a farmer(owner of 10 acres of land) and publican of the Plough Inn. He lived there with his wife Jane and son Robert and twins Edward and Eliza. Edward is my Great Grandfather. His son George immigrated to Canada but George's brother (another Thomas) lived in Gresford all of his life. I have more recent photographs of The Plough taken by my Aunt on a visit in the 80's.

Narrow Lane
I can remember Narrow Lane, Gresford although I lived there for a very short period. My Uncle Bob lived in the lane with my Auntie Peggy, he used to have a smallholding just across from where we lived. I am sure many people will remember him, his name was Robert Martin, in fact some of his family still live in Gresford. I also remember the dance group called the Gresford Bells, if anyone reading this recalls them I would appreciate if they would email me. And does anyone remember a Mr and Mrs Taylor who lived in the 1960s in a cottage just past Willises dairy? If anyone can remember them please let me know for I will always remember.

Moss Hall, Gresford
I am just remembering Moss Hall and Mr and Mrs Yaylor and their son Stan who lived in a cottage near the copse, and how at a night time you would stand outside and listen to badgers crying, it was really such an amazing place, the memories which are still fresh in my mind. I wonder if anyone in Gresford would still remember them, in fact their granddaughter still lives in Gresford, her maiden name was Pauline Yates, she later married Ron Smith. The last time i saw her was in 1985. She has a sister, Patricia, again I have not seen Pat also since 1985, in fact it would be nice to know if anyone knows of or is friends with them, if so could you please contact me. I may have left Gresford very young but I will always be Gresford born and bred.
Wrexham Dairies
Does anyone remember the dairy in Pandy? It was Wrexham Dairies . I used to help out on the milk float that used to do the Rhosrobin run, also Gwersyllt. The woman who used to drive it was Joyce and on a Saturday and Sunday I used to help Jack dropping off and picking up the milk churns, also crates of milk, I never got paid for it, I just liked doing it, unfortunately not like kids today who can't be bothered to do anything other than play games or annoy people. If anyone reading this remembers the old dairy, please let me know.
Trying to Find
This is not a memory. I am doing my family tree, My grandfather Albert Llwellyn Darke, lived in Gwersyllt late 20's early 30's . He worked at Russian Oil Products we believe in Gwersyllt. He was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident Boxing Day 1932 on the Whitchurch- Wrexham road. All we know is that he lived with his wife and son My father who was 3 weeks old when his father was killed. We think he lived at Beehive House, Hope Street Gwersyllt. Does this house still exist? Has anyone got a photograph? Has anyone got any inforomation on the RussianOil company? I have tried looking for details of this comapny on the net but with no success. If you can help me I would be very gratefull. Many thanks
ROP
my father drove for ROP in the 1930s and 1940s, the oil depot was sited were lLIDL now stands, his name was Ern Thomas. Price Beards also drove there. Presley ran the depot. Oil was delivered over north Wales,Lancashire, and Mersyside. Tommy Transports Garage was to the front of the depot, the old Co-op store stood to the right. My dad stayed on when Regent Oil Company took over, he reckoned it was the best job he ever had.
Dad

His mum Martha and dad James, brothers Joe, Jack, surviving brother Alfie, sisters Doreen, Nora, Elsie and surviving sister Gertie.Dad died recently, so it was doubley nice to view this site - thanks.
