Paul - that's brilliant!!!
The final piece of the jigsaw! Thank you so much for searching this out for us!
My father in law, David (Davies obviously!) is 85 now and as a 16 year old would cycle (yes, cycle...) from Garston in Liverpool with his best mate on a Friday night after work to camp at Loggerheads for the weekend. They liked to go in the Rainbow for a pint or two while there!
Once when they went in a policeman came in and tried to make Dave leave because he looked a lot younger than he was but the owner came through and said if Dave left the policeman could go too and then took the officer through to the back for a swift half!
Dave has holidayed near Cyffylliog for many years and passed the Rainbow Inn almost every weekend for 50 odd years so he is thrilled to learn of this link and has asked me to sincerely thank you for your hard work. He can't believe you would do all this for him for free!
If you're ever in the Rainbow and notice a little, blond, scouse fellow called Dave who
doesn't look 85, get him to buy you a pint!
Best wishes,
Lynne
PS Just for the record our David above was born in 1925 in Liverpool is the son of Alfred (and Emily Rose Smith) b 1880 in Liverpool, the son of Evan (and Elizabeth Wright) b 1848 Mold, the son of David (and Eliza) b 1814 in Llanychan who was the son of Thomas (and Jane Williams) b 1784 in Llanbedr!
