My nanna and Grandad lived in Holyhead for a number of years, they used to own the farmhouse about 3 miles down the road that goes down the side of Treadurr Bay  towards South Stack etc...they then moved to Fford Jasper until my Grandad died of cancer there. I came across your website and couldnt remember the name of the camp sight that is on the way to South Stack lighthouse, it was turned into a divers shop years later I think and I dont know what it is now, can you remind me? I used to spend every summer with my Granparents (Ivy and Peter Bond) in Holyhead and she now lives with us in Southport, I really should go back as my Grandad and all his family are buried in Holyhead Cemetary. I also used to date a girl who lived near Fford Jasper called Delwyth Williams, her Mum ran a hairdressers on the side of the house and the last I heard she went to work as a train announcer at Wrexham Station...its a shot in the dark but do you know her or the family I mean, she would be about 35-37 years old and I dont know if her Mum still runs the business? Anyway, just fancied dropping you a line to re-live my own memories if nothing else.                                                                                                Thanks  - Gavin Douglas - Gavin.Douglas@sfs-ifa.co.uk

Lianne.Russ@capita.co.uk -  Writes:- My name is Lianne Russ and I am currently working with one of the 5 short listed teams on the Landmarks Wales  project. Our proposal is to be sited at Holyhead harbour. We are currently at the research phase and were wondering if you may be able to help us out. We are searching for old stories from Holyhead's past such as the tale of the 2 monks and the Church in the sea. Perhaps you could help provide us with more information about these and others that you may have come across as a local. -  Lianne Russ (MSc architectural Studies)
