Clwyd memories
Holidays
My grandparents Robert Owen and Anne Davies lived in the cottages next to the church and I spent many holidyas there, I remember when the A5 went right past the garden gate, that was before the lay by was made.
19th Walsall Scout Troop
I was a scout belonging to the 19th Walsall troop, around 1958 / 59 we camped the traditional way on a farm at Melinywig, the farm was called something like Ty Teg Barc, the field sloped down to a river. The farmer's son was called something like Clunn, he taught me to tickle trout. His mother cooked us jugged hare, brilliant . We all had a fab time. Does anyone know the whereabouts of the farm? I would love to see it again. Many thanks, Dave Richards
Farming, Pub And Family
Because of the rural nature of Llanfihangel GM memories stretch across the village hub - the Crown pub on the bend by the bridge through to the small cemetary near Ty Ucha farm - through to Cerrigydruddion and even to Llangwm.
My father was born at Haffoty Llechwedd in 1915. This was the home of Robert Jones who had just married Jane Elin from Penygaer. Various members of both families farmed the area for many years and some still do.
The school lies along the road beside the pub and faces the small river where my father used to fish. I remember in the 1980s he took his small grandsons to the stream with their kiddie nets and was challenged by a fishing warden who officiously said they needed a permit to fish! What a jobsworth.
He also went to the school reunion the day before his 50th wedding anniversary celebrations in July 1995.
He bought a caravan which my Uncle William very generously allowed on... Read more
Cyril Evans
Does anyone remember my father Cyril Evans, and his family. I think he left the village around the 1940s at the age of 14???
My Uncle And Auntie
My Uncle Brian and my Auntie Doreen used to live here along with their 4 girls - Lynda, Pam, Debby, and Trisha I will never forget the first time we visited - coming from then the built-up area of the Wirral, we lived near Port Sunlight, it was like going back in time - the little post office, the shop full of tellies, and the weather-boarded houses. We stayed for a weekend, visited the school, and listened to the service going on in the chapel, while we paddled in the stream (which was freezing!) What was the name of the nearest pub? - a happy childhood memory My Uncle and Aunt moved, first to Ellesmere Port, and they now live in Ewloe. If anyone remembers them, drop me a line.
Cynwyd Youth Hostel
The Youth Hostel in Cynwyd was a converted watermill. It was very old and very damp and I stayed there one wet weekend in April 1967 with my girlfriend Angela Chapuis as we were heading towards Snowdon. I had a top bunk and banged my head on the low roof beams! What a wet weekend! The memory lingers as the following day we moved on from Cynwyd and stayed at Llanberis before our attempt on Snowdon. The weather was so bad that the mountain rescue teams were out forcing everybody back from the mountain so here I am forty years later and I STILL haven't been up Snowdon! Cynwyd was pleasant and our North Wales adventure is still a happy memory.
Evans Family
Does anyone have memories of my great grandmother Ellen Evans, my granddad David Evans, my grandma Florence Evans, a great uncle Bill and his wife Nancy? Iam trying to compile my family tree without much success. I would be so grateful for any information. I do remember going to Cynwyd in 1971 to my great aunt Jane's funeral who I think was granddad's sister.
