Questions about people
« on: October 19, 2010, 12:09:18 pm »
Anyone know what happened to the Modell family?  Mr Modell was the Rabbi at the synagogue in Church Walks in the 50's.  Susan attended St. George's School.  I think they moved to Bristol but it's a vague memory

I believe this was the synagogue. It's now used as a retreat centre.

Trojan - your belief is correct, it was indeed the Synagog!  Shalom!    :Sisyphus:

Miss Heaton

I have had a request about an elderly lady known only as Miss Heaton at this stage, but who is believed to live in Llandudno. Her late brother returned from Zimbabwe about 10 years ago and he possibly had some connection with bell ringing there.

If anyone can help, I shall be grateful as this enquiry is related to the forthcoming 50th anniversary of the Zimbabwe Guild of Church Bell Ringers to be held in Reading. Ringing is not possible at Harare Cathedral because the ringers there have been locked out of their tower for more than two years now.

Waldini at Happy Valley
« Reply #6 on: March 21, 2011, 08:10:55 am »
I've been contacted by someone whose Father was a member of Waldini's band at Happy Valley and they were wondering if there was any footage of them performing available anywhere? I couldn't think of any or even of many still photos, to be honest. If anyone knows different, please let us know.  $thanx$

One of my great grand parents lived in a house named Grassendale in Mostyn Avenue, Llandudno.  I have walked up and down the street but cannot see it anywhere.   Can anyone help in locating it please, even if it has had a name change.  Thank you.

Orme Vixen, the Conwy Archives in Lloyd Street has Street indexes for many years going back to 1911 and these Street indexes also list People's names alphabetically in them.  If you look for the names of either one of your G G Grandparents it might tell you where they lived. Alternatively look at the houses in Mostyn Avenue and see if you can see the name Grassingdale and that will give you the location.
Suepp has a 1929 Street Index and she has been great in locating info quickly so perhaps she may be able to find something for you.  I'm hoping to be in Llandudno tomorrow so I'll have a look for you if you haven't had the answer already.

Orme Vixen, Grassendale was number 50 Mostyn Avenue in 1929, the home of  R.C.Baxter, Draper. Looking at Google earth it seems to have been converted into flats, and where the front door was is now a window.
