I remember the old cattle market from many years ago. I now shop in supermarket. We have had a caravan in Denbigh for last 6 years - funny how one returns to their roots. My family come from Denbigh. Anyone remembers any EMMANUELS? I would like to hear from them.

You are so right , Ash. Brilliant photos. And yes, they do bring back memories. However, talking about the 'tin shop' I think I could be wrong, but I think it is now up at Cae Dai. Now, that's a place to visit if you're talking memories. Worth taking a look, especially on a nice day.

This is fascinating. Im 24 now, and when I was brought up in Denbigh, many a weekend was spent cycling arond the cattle market,munching on my Rainbow dust from the "tin shop" which you can see in the pictures,with the car boots on Sunday. These pictures are great,bring back some fond memories. I hear the tinshop has now gone.How much change is possible from this one area?Remember the clothes factory (James Seddon I think),and station motors.Thanks for the memories John!
