Dammed River at Bedlinog Geoffrey Taylor tells us: My Uncle and others dammed the river to make a pond for the younger children to play in. The house at the top left of the photo is the first house in Hylton Terrace, you will notice that there are no houses on the other side of the street at that time it was called Hylton street. My Grand parents and Mother lived in the house next door to the first house in the photo. The lady in the spotted dress in the photo is my Grand Mother Mrs Ada Jane Price and the girl by her side is possibly my Mother. |

Flood at the Bedlinog Inn - 1908 Floodwater from the mountainside caused a torrent through the village following a very heavy and prolonged storm. One man, James Williams, lost his life after being swept away, leaving a widow and 5 children. Charles Price, a stoker tried to save Mr Williams, but was also swept away, but survived after being caught in some fencing and managed to pull himself out. (Thanks to Leighton Smart for the information). |
