Voices from the Past

This forum is open to all of the villagers of Trelawnyd past and present


I would like for them to share their memories, old photographs, family histories and past Village news with me so that I may be able to present a comprehensive record of this small. ancient and facinating Welsh Village Community throughout the ages.


All photographs will be returned after being scanned and published

For those that want to read a comprehensive study on the History of Trelawnyd, please refer to the Book "TRELAWNYD PAST & PRESENT" by Daphne and Ken Davies

Best Wishes

The Inauguration of the Memorial Hall


This photo is a significant find .
A rare shot of the opening of the memorial hall 110 years ago.
The corner of High Street of London Road and High Street looks rather impressive presumably with everyone waiting for the Ralli family to do the unveiling
Thanks to the Harry Thomas archives for allowing me to share this photo
