I Lived Here

My parents ran Denbigh & Co with my father later purchasing the business in the late 60s. He was also a partner in the Pony Trekking business which was very successful in the 60s & 70s. We lived in a flat above the shop. There was a paper shop (owned by John Perris Jones), a post office (also a small clothing shop) bank and a grocers there and on the opposite side of the square there was a butcher's shop and cafe and some kind of old fashioned Co-op type shop.
