Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
I was born in bethania road acrefair in 1935'but spent all my young life in king street cefn Mawr,which included all the war years.i started school in September 1939'the month war started,attending the cefn infant and junior schools in plaskynaston lane,opposite dr alecs surgery.i later attended ruabon grammar school from 1946 until 1952.i left the area in1960 but obviously the area has always been very close to my heart,anyone remember me,I hope so.
The building is Wynnstay Hall, former home of the Williams-Wynne family, and was rebuilt following a major fire in 1858.
I don't really know too much about the area other than my grandparents lived at Pen-y-nant, Rhosymadoc until the mid 1990s. Any info would be greatly received.
I attended Ruabon Girls Grammar School from 1954 to 1959, happy days. At that time we were taught in 'the huts', we did not get the new school until the year before we left.
I now live near the school but all that is left is one brick block of the boys school.
I lived in Cefn Mawr and in the summer often walked home from school along Offa's Dyke.
