History today
Village pits - Historian Alice tells us about lesser known pits that transformed villages.

Bromfield Hall - Do you remember Mold's stately building, Bromfield Hall, which was once a family home?

War at the door - Contributors share memories and photos and record their recollections about WWII and how life was affected at home.

Town Talk
Prestatyn's Ffrith park closure - Adrian: "It's always easy to condemn rather than support. The community is only to blame, you should be ashamed..."
Wrexham traffic - Sue: "I tried to pick up a friend from the back of the People's Market last week, only to have to drive around in circles to do it! Mad."
More development - Ken: "Is it too late to stop the loss of Wynnstay Park, Ruabon? The way Wrexham has spread from Plas Coch to Eagles Meadow is a disaster that will be matched by [this] development."

That's your lot this week!
