More about this scene

The small village is famous for its waterfall and for being the home of William Morgan, vicar of Llanrhaeadr and 16th-century translator of the Bible into Welsh. Here we see a fine old 1930s car gracing the square. It is remarkable that today this scene is almost identical, with almost every physical detail unaltered. Not unlike other locations, the village has an identity problem. It has belonged to Denbighshire, Flintshire and Clwyd, but it has recently been nudged out into Powys.

I Lived Here
My parents ran Denbigh & Co with my father later purchasing the business in the late 60s. He was also a partner in the Pony Trekking business which was very successful in the 60s & 70s. We lived in a flat above the shop. There was a paper shop (owned by John Perris Jones), a post office (also a small clothing shop) bank and a grocers there and on the opposite side of the square there was a butcher's shop and cafe and some kind of old fashioned Co-op type shop.

Llanrhaeadr Ym Mochnant Pony Trekking
I used to go there around the same time , there was a man there called Bilko and a young lad called Gellie who used to take the rides out, I often wonder if they are both still about, it would be nice to find out Gellie came down to the pub in the village with my family and I thought he was really cute, we were about the same age, I wonder if that's him in the photo taken back in 1965

My Memories
I first came to stay in the area when I was about 4 yrs old, I was born in 1951. We stayed in a tent on a farm just outside Llanrhaeadr on the Pistyll Falls lane. The farm was owned by a man called John Jones, his wife and they had a daughter called Della May. We used to call Mr Jones "John Willy Ice Cakes". I do not know why but we did. I was chased by his huge Gander down the field. I remember their ...see more

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
