Dyffryn Clwyd Chronicle Page 5 Early childhood memories (1938-1950) by Denis Edwards I was born on a small farm on the Nantclwyd estate in Llannelidan, called Nant Y Hendy (creek of the old house) about a mile from the village school. I was an only child so enjoyed being with all the animals on the farm. One shire horse did all the work, ploughing, tilling hay cutting etc. We also had a lovely sheepdog “Nell” which accompanied me wherever I went. I enjoyed harvest time very much, as my father’s friends and neighbours came to help. Mid-after- noon I would be sent to the Leyland Arms to fetch a gallon of beer for the friends and neighbours. My mother made lunch for the helpers (egg and The sandwiches were cheese sandwiches). The sandwiches were made made with butter with butter churned by hand by my mother with churned by hand by my a little help from myself when mum got tired. The mother with a little help bread was also made by mum from grain milled to from myself when mum flour in the mill at Pwllglas. As a thank you to the got tired helpers some rows of potatoes in the field would be made available for them to dig up. We were in the flight path for German bombers going to Liverpool during the war. You knew them because they made a throbbing sound, totally dif- ferent from our planes. They would mostly fly at dusk and afterwards we would go up high to see Dyffryn Clwyd Chronicle Page 6 the red glow of flames over Liverpool on a clear night. One night we had a visit from the home guard to say our blackout curtains weren’t closed One night we had a visit properly. Mother and father got a right telling off. from the home guard to say our blackout There were two shops in the village.

In September 2013, the Local Government (Democracy) (Wales) Act 2013 (the Act) came into force. This was the first piece of legislation affecting the Commission for over 40 years and reformed and revamped the Commission, as well as changing the name of the Commission to the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales. The Commission published its Council Size Policy for Wales’ 22 Principal Councils, its first review programme and a new Electoral Reviews: Policy and Practice document reflecting the changes made in the Act. A glossary of terms used in this report can be found at Appendix 1, with the rules and procedures at Appendix 4. This review of Denbighshire County Council is the eighth of the programme of reviews conducted under the new Act and Commission’s policy and practice.
