Rhyl Place in Bryndwr – Named after Rhyl, a seaside resort town and community in Denbighshire, situated on the north east coast of Wales, at the mouth of the River Clwyd. Rhyl was a favourite place to holiday for Frederick Charles Williams (1887-1963) and his family. He was the developer of the street about 1956. First appears in street directories in 1970. Information supplied in 2015 by Mason Williams, great grandson of Fred Williams.
A small amount of information from the library website and nothing that I can add about the name of the street. Not a lot of information on Papers Past apart from a few death notices. In 1967 the street is mentioned as a proposed street and revocation of the road reserve. Revocation of the road reserve in mentioned again in 1975. I googled Rhyl and I hadn’t been there but it wasn’t far from Conwy where I have stayed.
There are 18 houses here mostly built in 1970s and 1980s but a couple of ugly modern houses. The weirdest looking house is from the 1980s. There were also about four houses that were built in an older style that I liked. Looked like a pleasant street that runs off Colwyn St.
