Middleton Memories - Linda Mitchell

Description

Linda moved to 2 Y Neuadd in the later part of 1952/early 1953 with her parents, Alfred and Margaret Thomas, and her sisters Hazel and Wendy. This was before the mansion had been torn down, and Linda mentioned remembering seeing the old remains, and being encouraged to stay away from them as there were adders living in the rubble. The family moved from the estate in 1957, but returned regularly to Llanarthne to visit family.
