Title: Drill Hall House, Flint
Post by: Lesden on Friday 17 August 12 13:48 BST (UK)
On my birth certificate it shows I was born at Drill Hall House, Flint.  I know this was in the castle grounds (or near the castle) does anyone know the history of this house? My dad was running the TA at the time, it was 1953.
Thanks
