For good measure Roger Jones also sent the old black-and-white image below left, showing Alpha Villa in Elwy Street. He says,
"In the 1911 census the house is occupied by Joseph Denton Davies, brother of Thomas Davies, a partner in Rhydwen Jones & Davies the furnishers. My paternal grandparents, originally from Ruthin, lived there from late 1930s until the house passed out of family possession in 1973 following the death of their daughter, my Aunt."
The house is next door to your left of the dentists, and is
now plain No.9 Elwy Street as in the colour photo taken a couple of days ago by
Yours Truly. "I can well remember visiting Charles Hubbard the dentist
next door," says Roger.
