I’ve been trying to find out for weeks what this building was called. I actually thought it was a ‘nunnery’ but just found out that it was a Nurses Quarter and Training rooms but was known by the locals as ‘nunnery’. I was only young in the 80s when it was all closed down and ready to be knocked down ...
Went to Mexico a few years back and ended up on one of those pay to view tours. Apologies that I can’t remember the name of the places. Had a great time visiting the monuments and listening to the tour guide who was very passionate and informative about the history. In the afternoon we were going to swim in an ...
Was the dreadful day of March 6th when I lost my best friend ever ‘Charlie Boy’. We took him to a vets for a little skin tag growth on his snout but there was also a lump on his body. The vet checked this and in a few weeks his poor body was riddled with them. I cry every single ...
I met Jonathan one evening when my friend passed me a book he recently read, called Jonathan Livingstone Seagull. At the time Ugur and I along with other kids from the same apartment block were primary school students, in the 1970s. I guess I was in year three. We often got together and talked about various things, books mainly, or ...
I was so made up to find this image in Rhyl library about 10 years ago! My god it brought all the memories flooding back. I can’t remember where I found it, maybe some old tourism book or the likes of that. From about the age of 7 my parents purchased a flatlet house in Beechwood Road, Rhyl and it ...
Wow, this photo is a blast from the past. I don’t recall what birthday it was but i know that we lost all friendships when starting school so it must have been primary school age. From Left to Right: (apologies if names are misspelt) Andrew Gardner: He was a really nice lad, always reminded me of Tony Hadley and I ...
We are talking 30 years ago now and I remember it as clear as day. My Dad had purchased an old mining cottage in Old Brighton near Coedpoeth. It was set out at the top of the hill at the end of a track and if you walked down the track about 30 metres then there was a row of ...
Apologies as I just cannot find a photo of the Old Abergele British Legion apart from a burnt out shell of a building which was always quite suss. Spent quite a few years in the snooker room, very cheap beer, made some good friends and a great atmosphere. It was so lovely hearing stories from the old guys about the ...
Something I’ve always wanted to find out about a building in Rhyl in early to mid 80s. Russell road there is a white building near the back of the Halifax. I remember there used to be an opticians there. Now people have mentioned the main part of the building, but right behind the opticians (the right hand side of the ...
Interesting find the other day on Rhyl History Club website. I remember in the 80s there was a large Pet Shop named ‘William Roberts’ at the bottom of the bridge in Rhyl. I was shocked to learn that it was originally on the opposite side of the road where the cinema ended up! They had huge windows and you could ...
