I am searching for Margeret Tegwen Jones. Her parents lived at 10 Esplanade and she would be in her 70s now. Does anyone know this family or have any information. please let me know or add a comment.
My mom and dad owned The Fairy Glen Hotel from 1949-1952. Anyone out there who lived there around that time?
This week, with the help of my friend Joe, we finished clearing the pond and cut the grass. You will notice from the photo that there are steps leading from the pond to the lawn, these are completely overgrown with grass so my next job is to find out if they were stone steps and if so are they still in good order. If someone knows please advise. I will then restore them. Will keep you posted.
