This is Barratt’s Restaurant at Ty’n Rhyl, 167 Vale Road, tel (01745) 344138. Ty’n Rhyl is reputed to be Rhyl’s oldest house; it dates back to the early 1600s – a couple of hundred years before the town began to take shape. It is said to have been a single storey building at first, the upper floor with gables being added later.In mid 1800s, Ty’n Rhyl was the home of Angharad Llwyd who was a Caerwys girl, a clergyman’s daughter. Angharad was a distinguished writer about Welsh history and a collector of antiquities. In 1866 she died at Ty’n Rhyl aged 86; many of her written works are in National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth.
Some of this information is from the book ‘Rhyl - The Town And Its People’ by J. W. Jones, published 1974. The picture was taken earlier this month by Yours Truly.
