RECORDS OF THE HAND INN, TREUDDYN
The Hand Inn is an ancient public house in Treuddyn which, according to tradition, was visited by Prince Llewelyn ap Gruffydd in 1275 (See: Flintshire Pubs & Breweries, D. Rowe (2009). Flintshire Record Office has recently taken in a deposit of fascinating records relating to the inn, which chronicle its ownership between 1803 and 1990 (Ref: D/DM/1836).
The collection includes a feoffment dated 30th April 1803, in which a public house with outbuildings and appurtenances, near to the ‘Chapel of Tryddyn’, was granted to Evan Davies of Treuddyn, Gentleman, for the sum of £210. The deeds and documents show the conveyance of the Hand Inn through various owners, including John Griffiths of Treuddyn, Victualler, who held the Inn in 1844; and John Ingman of Treuddyn, Publican, who took over in 1848. The Hand Inn was sold by auction by Jones & Son at Pontblyddyn on 22nd November 1887 and by 1990 it was owned by Marston, Thompson & Evershed PLC. It later became a privately owned house.
The records in this collection were deposited on behalf of the late Dr J. Ingman, who collected them as part of his research into the Ingman family history. Anyone interested in studying the history of this ancient inn can view the records at Flintshire Record Office (appointments are necessary).

COFNODION YR HAND INN, TREUDDYN
Mae’r Hand Inn yn dŷ tafarn hynafol yn Nhreuddyn sydd, yn ôl traddodiad, yn lle y bu i’r Tywysog Llewelyn ap Gruffudd ymweld ag o yn 1275 (Gweler: Flintshire Pubs & Breweries, D. Rowe (2009). Mae Swyddfa Gofnodion Sir y Fflint yn ddiweddar wedi derbyn cofnodion hudol sy’n gysylltiedig a’r dafarn, sy’n cofnodi ei berchnogaeth rhwng 1803 a 1990) (Cyf: D/DM/1836).
Mae’r casgliad yn cynnwys ffeffiad wedi ei dyddio’r 30 Ebrill 1803, lle'r oedd tŷ tafarn gyda thai allan ac atodion, ger ‘Capel Tryddyn’, yn cael ei ganiatáu i Evan Davies o Dreuddyn, Bonheddwr, am y swm o £210. Mae’r gweithredoedd a’r dogfennau yn dangos trawsgludiad Tafarn yr Hand drwy wahanol berchnogion, yn cynnwys John Griffiths o Dreuddyn, Tafarnwr, a oedd yno yn 1844; a John Ingman o Dreuddyn, Tafarnwr, a gymerodd drosodd yn 1848. Gwerthwyd Tafarn yr Hand ar 22 Tachwedd 1887 ym Mhontblyddyn drwy arwerthiant gan Jones a’i Fab ac erbyn 1990 y perchennog oedd Marston, Thompson & Evershed PLC. Yn ddiweddarach fe ddaeth yn gartref sy’n eiddo preifat.
Cafodd y cofnodion yn y casgliad hwn eu hadneuo ar ran y diweddar Dr J. Ingman, a gasglodd hwy fel rhan o’i ymchwil i mewn i hanes teulu’r Ingman. Gall unrhyw un â diddordeb mewn astudio hanes y dafarn hynafol hwn, weld y cofnodion yn Swyddfa Gofnodion Sir y Fflint (angen trefnu amser cyfarfod).

These early photographs have been donated by Nick Wiggin. They were taken by his Great-great- grandfather, John Wiggin 1818 -1879, a keen scientist experimenting with early photography who was appointed as Gas Analyst for the Ipswich Corporation and Public Analyst for the Eastern District. He made a whole range of over-the-counter medicines and also produced veterinary and agricultural products including his 'Seed wheat protector’.
A pioneering photographer and Ipswich chemist, John Wiggin took photographs using wax paper negatives and glass negatives from the early 1860s.
Wiggin & Son Chemist’s Shop was a fixture on the eastern corner of Berners Street and St Matthews Street in Ipswich from 1840 and, after major road- widening and rebuilding in the early 1960s, on the opposite corner and set back. The shop sold pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, photographic equipment, lantern slide equipment, chemistry sets and other products.

In the 1980s, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources developed a statewide bicycle touring networking known as the "Hoosier Bikeway System". Each route had a set of maps and cue sheets, and the routes also had pavement markings. This system continues to be featured in DeLorme's "Indiana Atlas and Gazetteer". However, this publication doesn't provide enough detail to follow the routes, and the road markings are no longer visible.
In 2002, the program was eliminated, as being "underused and outdated" and costing "approximately $25,000/year to maintain".
Most recently, this recent planning document states that the DNR plans to invest in bicycle touring routes: "The Indiana Department of Transportation is taking a lead role in promoting alternative transportation by currently working on a state bicycle plan that will cover bicycle routes throughout Indiana."
My contact at the DNR clarified just a few days ago:
"There are many people that would like to see a statewide bicycle route system, but it would have to be something different from the Hoosier Bikeways. The Hoosier Bikeways was designed for self contained overnight travel and there just are not very many bicyclists that really bicycle like that. Plus, DNR did not have the staff or financial resources to keep up with a statewide system that involved almost a thousand miles of roads that were constantly under repair, being altered, or changing traffic patterns. Besides, it seems that most people want to go out on a day ride at most and usually end up back where they started. That is why we are encouraging local routes be developed and maintained. If all counties were to develop local routes, then connections could eventually be made between these routes and we could build toward a statewide system."
In the meantime, he was kind enough to supply me with some remaining cue books from the old network. The shape is designed to fit in a handle-bar bag for direct use on a bike, and the elevation charts and routes are still interesting, even if they are dated.
Fascinating document which details many of the air raids in the town of Chelmsford in Essex (UK) during the second world war from when the first raid took place in 1940 to the last in 1945.
Included are the bomb type, where they fell, the damage caused, the date, the time of day and the number of casualties. This document is in 4 parts.

Noel's Lounge was one of the many lounges "My Friends" (my trio) played in the early 1970's. The lounge was located next to the Port Of Palm Beach which was a port that the US Navy used to let the sailors have a good time. The dance floor was full of sailors and the local girls. The owner of the lounge was a retired magician who would do magic tricks for us during our breaks. He was very good and we could never figure out how he did those tricks. We quit this job because I just couldn't take playing 5 nights a week into the wee hours and holding down an 8 to 5 job during the day, but what a wild place to play.
Five short pieces by Beckett, directed by Peter Brooke, starring "Jos Houben and Marcello Magni, co founders of theatre company Complicite and the Olivier Award winning Kathryn Hunter". Enjoyed it, it was interesting, and several things will stick with me for a long time, although I wasn't wowed.
My wife and I went to the first exhibition in Germany about Adof Hitler since the end of the war,needless to say its a touchy subject. The exhibit was located in the German national history museum and when you went inside the museum you would never know there was an exhibit about Hitler. I asked if i could take pictures and i was told i could without a flash but i managed to go in and snap a few pictures before i was told i was not allowed to,
The exhibit makes a strong point to explain the rise of Hitler,his impact on Germany,its people and crimes the crimes committed by this regime. The stories i read about it in English language German newspapers say they did not want the exhibition to be something Neo Nazis would not flock to.
The whole exhibition covers Hitler's rise from obscurity,the Nazis grab of power,life in Nazi Germany,Racial laws,the start of the war to the end and Hitler's legacy.
As well as the public's perception of Hitler from his time to present. I found it a bit strange to hear laughter during the exhibit but this came from scenes from Charlie Chaplin's parody of Hitler to videos from youtube with the meme of "Hitler's reaction to.." from the movie the Untergang. The youtube video "Hitler's reaction to Micheal Jacksons death" was on display which garned alot of laughs.
The whole exhibit had many relics from Nazi Germany. There were all sorts of uniforms from the 3rd reich like posters,children's books,painting,nazi street signs,Field Marshall baton's, strips of uncut yellow fabric the with star of David and "jude" written on it. Some of the artifacts were in such pritine condition they were down right errie looking.
The whole exhibit was really interesting but the disappointing part is that the main sections of the exhibit were described in English as well as German but alot of the individual artifacts and displays were only in German which gave me the impression that the exhibit was mainly for Germans.
