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.
Opposite The Majestic Cinema
I remember this beautiful church standing opposite the Majestic cinema with the church hall to the right & St Marks steeple behind. Tragically torn down to make way for an ugly row of concrete shops! Typical Wrexham!
Cemetery
This is actually the chapel in the Ruabon Road cemetery used until about 1995 for burial services.
BAKERY Department.
I attended the Bakery Department Denbighshire Tech. from 1960 to 1962. Mr Nash and Mr Hawkins were the tutors. I went to the Tech rather than getting a job in a bakery because my Youth Employment officer said I was too small for bakery work and needed to gain weight and strength! I won the Burton cup and the Renshaw cup during my time there. I can remember all my classmates but not all their names! Tom Dooley gave me a ride back to Ellesmere Port with my big silver cup on his scooter! Wild ride! I remember a girl with tight curly hair called Angie, also Gwyneth, Brenda, Mike, John Ptitchard, and Donald Mac Master from Rhyl where I worked 2 holiday jobs and lived at his house (his dad was the local vet), he had a sister called Margaret. I remember vividly the big red dragons on the tiles up the staircase at Tech. The Queen visited Wrexham one year and we made the cakes for the... Read more
Happy Birthday

Just realised that's 111 years ago today!
My grandmother was born 2 years later at The Woolpack Inn, Llangollen where Thomas was the innkeeper.
