Schools in the Three Towns area
« on: May 28, 2011, 04:02:24 am »
Llanrhos school endowed by Frances Mostyn, opened in 1822.

The 1841 census shows the schoolmaster to be a John Jones, a certified schoolmaster. Frances Mostyn, a daughter of Sir Thomas Mostyn who lived at Bodysgallen, was noted for her benevolence and charitable acts; one was the building and endowment (sum of1000 guineas) of a school for boys and girls at Llanrhos. It was to include non-fee paying pupils as well as those who could afford to pay. The school was planned to accommodate 40 boys and 40 girls with a house each for the schoolmaster and schoolmistress. The schoolmaster had to be an ‘Orthodox layman, relative to the Church of England, no Calvinist or Sectary’.

Children from six years to twelve years were to attend and left at twelve ‘to gain a livelihood but to attend school on Saturday and Sunday to keep with their learning’. Frances Mostyn made a further endowment of 1000 guineas in 1842. The school ceased to be used in 1905.

Llanrhos old school restoration and improvement project website:

David Rowley, Chairman of the group says that there has been tremendous support from the community. Many people have come forward to describe their own personal empathy with the building over the years, with memories of attending Sunday School in the 1930’s with nettles growing through the seat of the outside toilet.

As the class was only a year ahead of me I do recognise quite a few.

The second lot look just like identical twins of the first lot - or is it just a double posting?     :D

Yorkie, the second photograph has been taken from two rows further down and at the front of the class.

I think that lad at the front on his own was called 'Titch' Harrison and his father had a newsagents’ shop next door to the Crosville Club in Llandudno Junction.

I think the lad at the very right of that photo is John Geller.

The post 10:30:13 was actually repeated when I made my comment - maybe one has now been removed!    ;D

Ysgol Dyffryn Road pupils. I guess from the late 1950s. Certainly not into the 1960s.

A Winning Team from Stella Maris School. Early 1960s. In the front you will see Ronnie Jones of the Summit Cafe. Second from the back on the left is David Lyons. Margaret Farrell is also in there.
