For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Nell tells about her stay in Brynteg, my great grandparents Rachel and Peter Povey lived at 24 Holborn Crescent - a council house. They knew the Wynne's, and Peter was a retired miner. Rachel died in at number 24 in 1942, Peter in 1950. There is still a whole host of my Povey relations living in and around Wrexham. Brynteg was a nice place and I once had a house by that name.

Can anyone remember a teacher called Miss Miriam Roberts? The first class teacher for girls in the junior school Brynteg. The boys would have left infants school for Blacklane school in Pentre Broughton. She used to live across the road to the right of Plevins shop. I was born in 20 Quarry road Brynteg. My Dad was Frank Williams he was born in number 19 Quarry road. I really hope to hear from someone remembering this dear lady.
