My first memory for Middletown

I spent my childhood years in Middletown, going to Middletown school.  I remember walking down to the shop which I know as a dog parlour.  Used to walk up Middletown hill.  My grandfather was the local doctor, used to live in the area of Plas y Court.  Next year I'm getting married at Middletown church.   I have fond memories of Middletown as a whole.

I know the bridge was damaged in a flood and last time I looked the pool ...read more here

I remember that it was a sunny day but there was a stiff breeze so, instead of having our Wedding photographs taken on the Church steps (which are just out of sight below the entrance porch in the picture) we had to move to the Red Bank entrance steps just outside Grace Evans' Cottage for most of the photographs, because my wedding veil kept blowing ...read more here
