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

Old Trelawnyd

 
I was "sent" this old photograph by a lady from Ohio, USA
It shows clearly the allotments and gardens to the right of High Street, an area nicknamed The "Roft"
Apologies for not updating the blog for so long. I have a few "interviews" set up for the next few weeks

    No need to apologize, John. We all know how busy you are.
    A labor of love can only be done at your leisure.

    What a wonderful old picture.

    Hi John

    Interesting Picture as it shows where my astronomical observatory now stands at the middle left on the Byron St allotment area and it appears to have a couple of largish sheds or outbuildings on it, I found lots of stone wall remains when digging the site out and presumed they were old drystone walls, but they probably come from the outbuildings looking at this picture. Regards Dave Smith

    John -- I perused your blog and found it fascinating that you have collected so many historical items of your tiny village's history. What a charming village. Charming vernacular architecture! -- barbara

    From Ohio, no less. I wonder if she is somebody I might know. Doesn't matter, though, as Ohio is a huge state that takes hours to drive across it at 65mph or faster. lol

    I like old photos a lot.
