Does any Flintonian know the legend of Math, the wolfhound that deserted King Richard to fawn on Henry Bolingbroke, and whose ghost howls nightly on the walls of Flint castle? Is this story still told to the schoolchildren of Flint?

when i was a kid early 70.s the pandy was just a stream but it used to burst its banks and flood the main road. and our house by the yacht. in the front door and out the back!! so it was all re shaped into a pool and a large pipe with sluice gates to the side to cope with the water. they put fish and stages around it to make a feature of it but as all feel into decline now ..

There is a Flint history website at http://www.fflint.co.uk/industry.html? which confirms Peter's suggestion. There was a fulling mill on the site in the early nineteenth century.

As Pandy means fulling mill in Welsh, perhaps there was a fulling mill on the site. That would explain the pond.
