childhood memories A memory of Cwm Penmachno, Gwynedd I was born in Cwm and I was always known by my middle name of Maelor, My fondest memories are playing with my friends Ken, Idwal, Iola, Anne Evans and Anne Parry to name but a few, We all used to meet after school to play, I also used to fish in the river and caught many trout with both rod and by tickling trout, I was so sad when I had to leave to find work, Sadly it was the end of a way of life because when I moved away I found a very different world to the wonderful innocent world I had known before.

Gowers bridge A memory of Llanrwst, Gwynedd Gowers bridge was not too far from where we lived and was a great place to take the children for a picnic, to learn to ride a tricycle and to skim stones across and see who won, then pick our way to Llyn Bwrw Eira, along the banks, sometimes walk to the swings in Trefriw, and back. We lived in Plas Isaf and Heulwen Jones and her family came too. It was harmless fun in lovely surroundings, and thus has a lot of happy memories. The workhouse was still there in those days and the coal yard in the station , another attraction. Last edited: 10/07/2007 11:16 by First Name Last Name |

 Bala, view from Llanywchllyn Bridge 1888 (ref: 20789) |
Ty Newydd. A memory of Bala, Gwynedd Good to see that you have the view from the bridge, my aunt and uncle lived in the house on the left, which is called Ty Newydd. Many happy memories of tea time visits and playing and fishing in the river with the cousins. I helped my Uncle lay his drive, which 34 years later is still in good condition.

 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 |
