Mold
Mold is a relatively large town and is the largest historic market town in Flintshire, North Wales. The history of the town dates back to the Bronze Ages, with archaeological finds dating from that period.
The history of Mold includes battles with Anglo Saxons, and between the Welsh Princes and the Normans. Mold is beaming with history.
Any visitor to North Wales would not do too much better than to book accommodation in Mold and spend a little holiday there.
Culturally, quite a progressive town, with its own Theatre, which also hosts art exhibitions and much more.
The town was built up during the Industrial Revolution due to extensive mining of Lead and Coal in the area.
As a very busy market town in the past, Mold must have been quite a profitable town to own a business. I hope that the ensuing images will be of interest. Most of these photographs are courtesy of Mr Ray Davis
Mold was, and to a lesser extent still is a busy market town. No surprise then that there are lots of old photos of the high street.
Like most railway lines in North Wales, Mold railway was operated by London and North Western Railway Company.
