Rhuddlan Railway Station
In November 1880 my grandfather then aged 16 years was Apprentice Booking Clerk at Rhuddlan Station. There was only one other member of staff that being the Station Master.
After four months training he was sent to Bangor Station still as an Apprentice. In March 1883 he went to Colwyn Bay Station to train on Goods and Parcels. In November 1886 he was appointed Booking Clerk at Llandudno Station.
My father never knew why the family moved from Deganwy Station House in July 1897 to the Manchester area but his father had been dismissed as a 'Defaulter'. Later that year in the November the Station Master resigned. Did my grandfather take the blame for some possible wrongdoing ...read more here

Days Out
We would visit Rhyl quite frequently when my daughters were growing up. We enjoyed walking along the Promenade and occasionally going into the Amusement Arcades.

At the Skating Rink
I have a copy of this postcard and believe my sister and I are skating in the bottom left corner of the picture (unfortunately under the Frith logo on the image).

I still visit often but sadly the town is much changed - most of the beautiful prom is long gone - including the rink. However Rhyl still feels like home to me.
