Sun, Sea & Sandhills at Gronant
Going on our holiday in dad's car to nan & grandad's holiday bungalows, driving over the railway bridge and onto what I always knew as Gronant (The Warren), the first thing we would see would be the little wooden shops. My dad would carry me on his shoulders to buy a windmill and a bucket & spade and then onto the sandhills for a day of fun. What fantastic memories of our family holidays of sun, sea and sandhills at Gronant. (The picture is just how I remember the wooden shops). Posted: 25/11/2006 19:14 by M Stubbings |

Childhood holidays
We stayed in a ramshackle bungalow on the Warren and Miss Doyle, the owner, stayed in an outhouse while she rented the place to us for the week! We had the most wonderful times there and went every year for a long time. Sunny days, sandy beaches and happy times! We used to stroll up to the Gronant Arms with our mum and dad and sit in a whitewashed shed and have crisps (with the little bag of salt in) and a bottle of lemonade. Another place we stayed in had diferent wallpaper on every wall, hardly 5 * accommodation but we had a great time. My husband and I stayed at the Beaches Hotel earlier this year and took a drive down to where the Warren used to be and I was really nostalgic. Great to see the photos.

Happy holidays A memory of Prestatyn, Clwyd Staying with granny, Norton Avenue, running free all day with my brothers, the school my brother went to, now an Indian restaurant. Skelton and Dowell Butchers, St John's Methodist church, twice on a Sunday. The building of the promenade, hating it, the loss of the sand dunes. The high street with a farm in it, now Boots etc. Just the freedom to run all the day, my brothers played with the headmaster's sons, so couldn't get up to real mischief. The Denbighshire and Flint Show each year. Such a happy childhood, holidays every summer for many years. Last edited: 08/10/2008 09:58 |

Childhood memories A memory of Prestatyn, Clwyd We moved to Prestatyn in 1960 when I was 3. My first memory was riding on my dad's shoulders walking up the High Street and seeing a bus with no roof! We lived in Linden Walk for three years and I used to enjoy milkshakes in a cafe on the High Street. Several years later my Gran bought the same house, so my holidays as a ten year old were spent in the same house! I remember walking up the mountain with my Mum to a gate at the top, which is still there. It's near the layby with the viewpoint. We used to walk over to Gwyensgor for ice creams and feed the ducks in the pond on the way. In the mid 1980's we used to visit my Gran who then lived on Warren Drive. I still enjoy going back there. Even though it's changed a lot it still brings back memories of my childhood. Posted: 06/02/2007 14:41 by John Harvi |
