03 Corwen Calling

6th May 1906 to 25th October 1986

Since starting to publish my photos here, it is those of Corwen which get the most comment and the most hits. Strange, perhaps, that a small depot in a sleepy little town should arouse such interest.

I have to admit a certain amount of affection for the place. Certainly, I used to pass through regularly as a D94 commuter of sorts. With one snarling exception, the drivers were most co-operative with photographers and I remember cadging lifts on light runs to Ruthin at school time, where the alternative was to wait an hour or more for a bus to Wrexham.

I also had the worst cup of coffee in my life in a café in the square. It was a beige, milky-watery concoction with brown skin floating in it. Perhaps when they extend the Llangollen railway to Corwen then provision for tourists will improve. Back in my day, it was a dull place to be stranded for an hour, but it always led onto better things!
