Nostalgic memories of Bedlinog's local history

Share your own memories of Bedlinog and read what others have said

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.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

Desperate To Find My Grandad Jack Price And Siblings
I visited Bedlinog during the late 1960's when my Grandmother Elsie Price (ne Phillips) would travel from Windsor Road, Edwardsville with me and my identical twin sister Jane to visit my grandfather Jack's family.

I think we used to get there by train because I'm sure the trains ran through Bedlinog in those days.

Memories of the Gymanfas held there - the singing wonderful. The Hywl from the Welsh ...see more

My Childhood In Bedlinog
During the second world war when I was about three years old my parents thought it would be safer for me to leave London and live with my mother's parents in Bedlinog. We lived in the High Street and I have such happy memories with my grandparents, Tom and Hannah Blackwell. I remember shopping daily with my grandmother, going to the Co-op (Station Terrace??), the butchers near the top of the High ...see more
