 Ffestiniog, 1930 (ref: 83659) |
Year: 1945
WW11 in Llan Ffestiniog A memory of Ffestiniog, Gwynedd Towards the end of WW11 my mother took me to visit family in Llan Ffestiniog. I was vey young. I recall clearly looking out of the parlour window and seeing a communal water pump in the street and with dozens if not hundreds of soldiers passing through - apparently en route to their camp at Trawsfynydd. Where was the pump ? Can anyone help? I think it may have been near the wide Y junction in Ffestiniog but I just don't know. Help! Posted: 22/01/2008 20:36 by Meirion Jones |

 Trawsfynydd, the Camp 1904 (ref: 51670) |
Year: 1900s
The Camp A memory of Trawsfynydd, Gwynedd This photo is fairly unique since it shows the Camp at Bryngolau, Trawsfynydd, where the Royal Artillery Summer Camp was located for 2 years from 1903 before establishing a more permanent camp 2 miles south at Bronaber in 1905, where it remained until about 1958.

 Trawsfynydd, the Square 1904 (ref: 51663) |
Year: 1970
Carnival A memory of Trawsfynydd, Gwynedd Every year the Carnival passed through the Square, I remember being on the float with the Trawsfynydd Queen 1971/72? I have a photo of my Mum, on a float in the Square, when she was little (that would be 1951/52?) and a photo of my younger brothers and cousin walking behind the floats all in fancy dress. The Square in Trawsfynydd is also where I used to stand each morning to catch the bus to school in Blaenau Ffestiniog. I only lived in Trawsfynydd for three years but the memories are many.

 Blaenau Ffestiniog, Manod from west 1901 (ref: 46761) |
Year: 1900s
Bronddwyryd A memory of Blaenau Ffestiniog, Gwynedd Not exactly my memory (only 44yrs old). But in the research of my family tree, I have been interested in locating old pictures of Bronddwyryd. The small row of houses were built in 1880, and my great grandfather Richard Evans (1846-1912) was the first to rent the property. His son, my grandfather Evan Evans (1880-1954) lived there with his wife Annie Mary Evans (nee Hughes) (1884-1946) with his mother Margaret Evans (nee Jones) (1848-1929). Evan Evans then bought the property in about 1923 for the grand sum of 900 pounds. When he died in 1954, he left the house in his will to his eldest daughter, Annie Blodwen Casson (nee Evans) (1920-1996), she died in Canada where she lived. During the 1950s the house was rented out, and in 1963, when Anne's younger brother left the army, he took residence with his family. On the 28 Sept 1981, Anne bequeathed the property to her brother William Hughes Evans (1927- ) and his wife Jean Evans (nee Evans) (1938- ), as a Deed of Gift to mark their 25th Silver Wedding Anniversary. And on the eve of William Hughes Evans' 81st birthday (24 July 2008), the property is still with the Evans family, and it's where I grew up as a child, along with my siblings. I now live in Australia, and it's great to be able to view this picture of the past, in which many of my decendants before me saw. Not many in Blaenau can lay claim to a house being in the same family for 128yrs. Last edited: 28/07/2008 14:42 by Tracy Evans |
