dyserth life
I was born in ST. Asaph and spent 7 years in Dyserth. My Nan and Taid lived there until they died in the 70's, so summer holidays were always in Dyserth. I have watched it grow from a small village to what it is now. My life and holidays there were always great. I would love visiting Nan and Taid. I remember the quarry, the siren before the blasting and the dust that would fall after. My mum would run out to bring the washing in quickly when the siren sounded. Everything was covered in whie dust. I remember the sweet shop! On one of your photographs is my Nan's house (Unfortunately not ...read more here

Extracts From Dyserth & Clwyd books
These spectacular waterfalls near Rhyl are the main reason that people visit Dyserth, and postcards of the falls have been sent by impressed trippers to all parts of Britain and further. The waters once attracted pilgrims and later powered a flour mill on this site. Early visitors came on horseback but a motor train (1905) brought passengers from Prestatyn for 3d.This picture must be one of the best photographs, clearly showing the falls and the well-kept setting that is provided for visitors.
