Do you remember the clay works on Newbridge Rd between Pentre and Cefn on the B5605; the family business was based there after it closed. They were coal merchants and hauliers. D H Jones.... His mother's family were Ling's who had Victory Garage in Ruabon.
I think so, Nesta. We passed it on the Crosville bus going to Wrexham. I think it was on the right hand side more or less half way between Pentre and the bridge.
There are many tales of the bus triyng to manoeuvre the severe bends on Newbridge Hill and then going through the narrow street through Cefn, especially when one bus met another one going the other way!
Do ask if you need any other local knowledge - I'll try to help
