This was one of my mother's homes apparently. Does it ring a bell anywhere?

Whoops!!

Lodge is more likely to be a small village near Brymbo,I had relatives living there myself in 1901.

Thanks William, that's cleared THAT up then. I always thought it looked a bit on the small side to be called a lodge. ::) I'presume they actually lived in the house next door to the Co-op. Wonder if it's still there? Poli

The attached photo is not very clear but it gives you some idea of how close the village was to the steelworks.

I had a problem with Rhos Lodge. I know where it was I think. near the old seven sisters mine. but I'm not sure. suppose it has vanished now. must have been the same thing.
-
Lodge is now an ongoing search interest for me as i found some names on the back of a wedding photo taken c1916 in a 'Myfanwy cottage' at Lodge. I'll dig deeper and see what i come up with. Poli. :)

Half of 'the Lodge' village was buried by the expanding banks of the steelworks in the early half of the 20th century.

Found this in the Wrexham Leader on Friday. Although it does not mention the Lodge, it is the right place.

Hi
Just wondering if I could be of any help? I live in Lodge across from where the steelworks and houses used to be....

Thanks for the offer Rinnie.
I just have a general interest in Lodge as my brother was born at 5 Nant Rd. Don't know if number 5 still exists!!
Also, i have a photo of a wedding party taken in Lodge at a Myfanwy Cottage. The bride was my mother's cousin Lilian.[Barker] c1916.
It says on the back of the photo that the bridegroom was a Dr. Morris and i'd LOVE to know his first name. There was also a Dr. Batty amongst the guests.
So--if you have any really ancient relatives still around from 90 years ago perhaps you could ask them :) My Taid also worked as a steelworker at one time so i assume that would have been in Lodge.
Seriously though, i even wrote to the Wrexham Leader newspaper as i thought perhaps a local Doctor getting married might have made a bit of news but no luck.
My lot are all Hughes and Evans and they seemed to get all over the place in N.Wales. Polidor.

To Rinnie, I notice you are researching the Griffiths, Matthias and Rowland families. Have you got any connections with the smallwood family, as several members married into the above families you are researching

There`s no other match.
You would be better contacting Wrexham Archives if you wanted to see if there was a report, they will search the papers for a fee.

I lived in The Lodge (Wrexham) for many years during my youth. I left in 1972 when I married and moved away. Firstly, The Lodge address is "Lodge, Wrexham" NOT BRYMBO. The building showing the Co-op was there for many years. Opposite this building was a shoe shop. To the person who questioned about the houses at the side of the
Co-op:- No, the shop staff did not live in them, but they were private houses - including on the left was the village Police Station. This village (in its prime) was large - larger than the next village which was Southsea. It boasted the following:- 2 x Florists / 1 x wholesale vegetable / Ivy's shop (which was extremely small) / Gallimore's shoe & boot repairer / Fish & Chip shop / Post Office / Ironmonger/ Shoe & Boot seller/repairs / small grocery - sweet shop / the Co-op. It also boasted it's own police station / Doctor's surgery & 3 Chapels! This is how I remember it ..... quite a large village!! :)
