Llanynys/Llanrhaiadr?
I only found out today that my Grt:Grt:Grandfather,Owen Lloyd, lived in one or indeed both of these places. The house was called Ty-mawr. (The Big House). Does anyone have any information about these places? My Grt: Grt: Grandfather I believe was born in 1793 in Llanrhaiadr. Are any more of his descendants out there please?

Village Life

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

Extracts From Ruthin & Clwyd books
The mock-Tudor building seen here gives little indication of the real timber-framed buildings that remain in the town, although most would have been destroyed when Owain Glyndwr proclaimed himself Prince of Wales in 1400 and sacked the town ‘leaving only three houses’. The cars appearing here in St Peter’s Square, where a roundabout now guides traffic, were to be followed by many more as car ownership increased from the 1950s.
