Childhood in Welshpool

I was born & spent my childhood in Welshpool. St Mary's was our Parish Church, it has beautiful stained glass windows which always fascinated me as a child. I was christened and confirmed in this Church and later in May 1965 my husband and I were married there by the Curate, the Reverand Michael Butler. I remember that it was a sunny day but there was a stiff breeze so, instead of having our Wedding photographs taken on the Church steps (which are just out of sight below the entrance porch in the picture) we had to move to the Red Bank entrance steps just outside Grace Evans' Cottage for most of the photographs, because my wedding veil kept blowing ...read more here

My first memory for Middletown

I spent my childhood years in Middletown, going to Middletown school.  I remember walking down to the shop which I know as a dog parlour.  Used to walk up Middletown hill.  My grandfather was the local doctor, used to live in the area of Plas y Court.  Next year I'm getting married at Middletown church.   I have fond memories of Middletown as a whole.

In those days she had no electricity and water was obtained from a pump in the yard. The garden had a beautiful view over the valley exactly like this one. In the distance is Duffryn Hill which I climbed many times. At the base of this hill was the hall where Clement Davies the then head of the Liberal Party and MP for Merioneth ...read more here
