Caernarvonshire / Eglwysbach Wesleyan Chapel
« on: Monday 24 June 19 17:48 BST (UK)  »
The current Wesleyan Chapel, originally built in 1806 is on Ffordd Bryn Fran near the centre of Eglwysbach.

The Eglwysbach Heritage Trail http://historypoints.org/index.php?page=eglwysbach-capel-ebeneser mentions that the Wesleyan Methodists used to meet at a nearby house called Yr Hen Gegin, two years earlier than 1806.

The closest I can find is a field name of Cae Gegin just east of the chapel but no obvious house. Does anyone know of the exact location of Yr Hen Gegin please?

Flintshire / Old Pandy Mill Afonwen
« on: Sunday 08 May 16 11:07 BST (UK)  »
Hello
This is my first post :O)......
I am looking for people with any information regarding the property called Old Pandy Mill in Afonwen North Wales. I have found a ton of stuff that was either left to us when we moved in or that I have researched on the web, record offices etc including all

the owners....
the Ffoulkes, William Roberts, Robert Roberts, Arthur Newton Roberts, Charles Davidson (of Buckley brick fame), the Hurbutts, Francis Capel Cure (in prison with Winston Churchill), British Portland Cement Co. etc

and occupiers...
Joshua Jones, William Evans, son William Moses Evans, Helene Martha Harcourt Williams, William Henry Gilmour (first Professor of Dentistry), Gerald Lyon, Chris Bocking etc...... but any additional information no matter how small or trivial would be fantastic.

It has been a great challenge as the property has been described as being in both Denbighshire and Flintshire Counties (because of closeness to border) as well as Townships/Parishes of Caerwys, Ysceifiog, Nannerch, Trefechan and Trefraith, plus the property had been divided into two...where would the fun be if it was easy :)

I have seen the premises, a Woollen Mill on the 1849 Tithe and 1820 Bodfary (Bodfari) maps but would love to know when built and any photos up to the present?

Thank you
