HMS RHYL # 3

THIS IS THE BLOG OF COLIN JONES, RHYL TOWN COUNCILLOR: BODFOR WARD

Further to previous posts about this frigate, the picture above shows an official Ministry of Defence scale-model which is in the keeping of Rhyl Town Council in Wellington Community Centre, Wellington Road.

The model is in the chamber where council meetings take place; it is a large item usually kept in a sealed display case. Underneath the table is an unidentified part of the real ship. Someone in the know please send email: rhyl.colin.jones@live.co.uk

Nearby is HMS Rhyl ship’s bell dated 1960, pictures of which I'll save up for another time. My thanks to council staff members Phil Thomas and Helen Windus for being of assistance in this afternoon’s photographic expedition.
