More about this scene
Denbigh saw action during the Wars of The Roses and changed hands on several occasions. In 1468 it finally fell to a Lancastrian force led by Jasper Tewdwr, Earl of Pembroke. Both town and castle were put to the torch; the damage to the former was such that when reconstruction started much of the town was built outside the old walls.

I used to come on holiday annually to stay with my Nain and Taid in Ruthin, I have fond memories of the staff and family from the "Townsend "Stores; as the train left Denbigh station on the way to Ruthin all the family would be outside to gives us a wave, it was always a highlight of a long journey.
