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). |
