How many of you can remember this old limewashed windmill at the junction of Chapel Street and High Street? These photographs, from Dennis Parr’s collection and reproduced with his permission, show the old mill before it was demolished.
This is one of a series of images of Abergele from Dennis Parr’s collection. Mr Parr will be familiar to many who’ve lived in the town since the 1960s. He used to run Parr’s shops in Market St.
We’ll be publishing more images from the Dennis Parr Collection on this site over the coming months.
I recognise the Ford Escort car in the photo, it belonged to my father Gwyn Roberts, who was the manager of the warehouse next to the miill. The warehouse supplied food to the E B Jones grocer shops in north Wales. My father bought the car new in 1967 so the photo must have been taken in the late 60’s.
