1960s

A Memory of Denbigh.

I too was born at Denbigh Hospital (1958) and we lived in Trewen which at the time hadn't been extended to Erw Salsbury.
I used to walk to school with Mum down Ruthin Road to Fron Goch and we'd call at a sweet shop on the way back on a busy corner.
Dad worked at Edward Thomas & Co which was an agricultural machinery depot. My sister went to the Convent. We moved away in 1965 but some aspects of Denbigh are very vivid for me and I recall my last day at school and not wanting to leave for this new adventure to England.
My teacher was called Miss Annie and I think there was a Miss Barclay too.
Our neighbours were the Thompson family (including son John with who I used to play out in the street) and Mrs Williams.
I call back each year and in stalking mode (!) always cruise down Trewen to see the old homestead. We grew peas in the garden and had a small pond with sea shells set into it. The current owners have maintained a beautiful garden which would please my father who loved it.
