Llanasa, The Village c.1955

More about this scene
The village was once the seat of the diocesan church of St Asaph (Llanasaph), which dated back to the 13th century. Before us we can see the church of St Asaph and St Cyndeyrn, and the building on the right is the former Gyrn Arms Hotel. By 1953 the end had come for this pub, which had served villagers since around 1685. Frank Parry, the 77-year-old publican, had taken it over in 1907. The Herald of Wales report of the final night stated: 'Although he won't be pulling points any more, Frank Parry will still be busy, for he is the village gravedigger. He has been for scores of years and can't get rid of the job. None of the younger men will take it on'.
