Very interesting. Thank you so much. I really enjoy your lovely stories.
Glad you like them!
Nice to hear of Terfyn Pella in your video. My grandad (taid) was living there with his family in 1901.
He was 12 yrs old and had several siblings.
Terfyn Pella was a small farm, it gets quite a few mentions in the local newspaper back then, right up to 1930s.
Wished I had asked my father lots of questions about it all when I had the chance.
Thanks for the info!
I'd have liked to talk about Terfyn Pella in the video, but it is difficult to find much information about the place. google just finds lots of stuff about the current caravan site on the coast road!
Champion! Da iawn!
Thank you so much for your very informative video.
Although having lived, and still live, since 1969, within 200 yards of the site of Salem Bungalow and have regularly walked past its ruins, I knew nothing of its history.
I assumed that the bungalow was much older and that it was destroyed in the very early part of the last centuary and therefore there would be little chance of any photographs being in existence. I have unsuccessfully searched back copies of the local papers.
Since you say that it was only abandoned to the waves in the 1940s, there may be a chance that some photographs of it in its Hey Day have survived, and are hidden away in some archive somewhere.
If there are, I would be delighted to see them.
Thank you again for your diligent research.
Thank you also for your excellent videos of Rhyl and Conwy.
Thankyou for your kind comments, very much appreciated!
There are indeed a small number of photographs of the bungalow which I found online. They are all subject to copyright restrictions, I was unable to find contact details to seek permission to use the photos.
The bungalow was much larger than I expected, probably some 3 or 4 times larger than the typical Rhyl bungalow.
