Clwyd memories

Swimming

I used to live in Marchwiel some three miles away. We used to cycle to Bangor on hot days in the school holidays to swim in the river. I had a very beautiful girlfriend by the name of Barbara Jones, she lived right by the milk factory about half a mile from the bangor bridge. I lost contact when I moved to Cardiff. (Great Memories)

I remember this beautiful church standing opposite the Majestic cinema with the church hall to the right & St Marks steeple behind. Tragically torn down to make way for an ugly row of concrete shops! Typical Wrexham!

I attended the Bakery Department Denbighshire Tech. from 1960 to 1962. Mr Nash and Mr Hawkins were the tutors. I went to the Tech rather than getting a job in a bakery because my Youth Employment officer said I was too small for bakery work and needed to gain weight and strength! I won the Burton cup and the Renshaw cup during my time there. I can remember all my classmates but not all their names! Tom Dooley gave me a ride back to Ellesmere Port with my big silver cup on his scooter! Wild ride! I remember a girl with tight curly hair called Angie, also Gwyneth, Brenda, Mike, John Ptitchard, and Donald Mac Master from Rhyl where I worked 2 holiday jobs and lived at his house (his dad was the local vet), he had a sister called Margaret. I remember vividly the big red dragons on the tiles up the staircase at Tech. The Queen visited Wrexham one year and we made the cakes for the... Read more

Happy Birthday

My grandmother's sister, Eveline Mabel Massey was born at The Hand Inn, Town Hill, Wrexham on 20th May 1901 to Thomas and Emirrah Massey. Thomas was the hotel manager according to her birth certificate.
Just realised that's 111 years ago today!

My grandmother was born 2 years later at The Woolpack Inn, Llangollen where Thomas was the innkeeper.

Wrexham Dairies

Does anyone remember the dairy in Pandy? It was Wrexham Dairies . I used to help out on the milk float that used to do the Rhosrobin run, also Gwersyllt. The woman who used to drive it was Joyce and on a Saturday and Sunday I used to help Jack dropping off and picking up the milk churns, also crates of milk, I never got paid for it, I just liked doing it, unfortunately not like kids today who can't be bothered to do anything other than play games or annoy people. If anyone reading this remembers the old dairy, please let me know.

Original Owner of The Plough

The Plough c1960

My Great, Great Grandfather, Thomas Evans was the original owner of The Plough. While doing some research into my family tree I discovered in the 1861 Wales Census that he was listed as a farmer(owner of 10 acres of land) and publican of the Plough Inn. He lived there with his wife Jane and son Robert and twins Edward and Eliza. Edward is my Great Grandfather. His son George immigrated to Canada but George's brother (another Thomas) lived in Gresford all of his life. I have more recent photographs of The Plough taken by my Aunt on a visit in the 80's.
