Y Stryd Fawr (High Street), Deiniolen
Time was, in the hey-day of the slate industry, that Deiniolen's High Street had some 40 shops. The last shop, the Post Office, closed a couple of years ago. All that remains are two public houses and a cafe. In the late 1990s, the street was given a make-over with European grants, with the houses been renovated both inside and outside.Since then, one or two have become derelict. The boarded up shop, half a century ago, was a successful drapery shop and the tall building next door to it a busy grocer's shop.

The still boarded-up Wellington Inn
It is sad to see the Wellington still boarded up. I was brought up opposite the Wellington. It was then run by Frank Wall, a former Liverpool Police Inspector, and was a very busy pub. In those days the pubs closed early and in summer we used to watch the turning out at 9 o'clock. A few feet away to the right was a drop of a foot or more from the pavement to the roadway. We used to bet which of the known hard drinkers would come to grief on the step. One particular gentleman was soon excluded from the list of runners as he invariably misjudged the drop.

Boarded-up Building, in Deiniolen.
Hard times in the High Street, boarded-up businesses at Deiniolen! Where does the blame lie? Compare Eric Jones' picture of the same street, taken two years previous.

The temporarily disused Wellington Inn
I was brought up across the street from this pub and it is sad to see it boarded up. Back in the slate quarrying days it was a very busy pub and especially so in the week following on the monthly Big Pay Friday. The good news is that the next time I went past (April 2008) the Wellington was back in business.

Siop y Gornel and Rhes Faenol Terrace
In my youth this was known as Siop Marc as it was owned by Marc Parry, a quarry first aider and the O/C of the local youth wing of the St John's Ambulance Brigade. During the working week, the shop was run by Mrs Parry. It was one of Deiniolen's forty shops. Such has been the change in retail patterns that now only one store has survived.
