Loggerheads

Read and share memories of Loggerheads and Clwyd inspired by Frith photos

Colomendy Camp School

I attended Colomendy School for about two years, coming from the City of Liverpool. I was fascinated with all the open spaces and especially the mountain - Moel Fammu. I can remember having great times there: walking into Mold Village and day trips out, climbing the Catwalk, visiting the camp cinema, the tuck shop.
Then in 1949 I had to return to Tiber Street School for my leaving. I am now 71 but will never forget my time spent at Loggerheads. The local people were always very kind to us.

Village Life

My first visit to the village of Llanferres was in the mid 1970s visiting relatives. Walking to 'Fairy Glen' and surrounding fields, hills, woods and farmland, I was in heaven and still am after 30+ years living in the beautiful little village with its pub 'The Druid Inn', perfect to sit out with a drink and take in the view or sample their excelent food.

Not too far are 'The Miners Arms', Maeshafon, 'Loggerheads' pub and park, and 'The Colomendy' pub at Cadole.

The memory of 1950s is a DVD taken from a cine camera in the early 1950s including a few carnivals, the 50 minute film is in colour but silent including views and many local people, some ...read more here

Jones Balers

Looking back from this photo is the site of the original Jones Balers factory. I have many fond memories of my early working life with a wonderful bunch of collegues at the factory. I often visited Herbie Ellis' shop which later was to be in one of the houses in this pond photo, also the Red Lion pub nearby.
