More about this scene

Boys stand in their boats and paddle near the rapids, while others fish around on the bank without a concern in the world, as boys have probably done here for centuries. The bridge which spans the Dee dates from around 1660 and is attributed to Inigo Jones.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

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)
