I am looking for photographs and stories about Bethesda for our Facebook page. Much appreciated.

Have you tried looking in old newspapers? Not sure what type of article you are after but there are a few quirky and interesting items about Bethesda eg in 1937 a fox living amongst a flock of sheep, and also in 1937 an unknown coffin found in a grave  (records only showed 2 burials, however there were 3 coffins). Also many earlier items searching under Glanogwen.

I'm looking for anything about Bethesda really,the quirkier the better !! It's interesting what you said about Glanogwen,I live next to it,it's in a bit of a state now but there are some very old graves there. I will look into what you read though,thanks.

If you don't have a subscription to any of the newspaper archives, don't forget Welsh Newspapers Online is free.

I access old newspapers online at home (free) using my National Library Card - many libraries have eresources which include British Library Newspapers.

I assume that you've looked at the photos on the Francis Frith website.  There are some at the beginning of the page.  They're copyrighted though.
