Title: The Hollies Birch Hill Llangollen
Post by: JGarratt on Sunday 25 June 06 20:59 BST (UK)
Hello

Can anyone tell me any information on the The Hollies, Birch Hill Llangollen?

I have a picture of the Jones siblings sitting in the garden of "The Hollies", but does anyone know where this maybe or where i could find out further information?

Look forward to hearing from you

Jeannette

Hi Jeanette

I know Birch Hill very well. I passed it every day for 7 years when going to school there  :) It's about the first steep diagonal road on the right  left off the A5 as you come into Llangollen from Chirk or Froncysyllte. The photo suggests that it might be about half way up.

For a detailed map, you could try the multimap web site.

Some of my friends lived there and I visited. I can't recall the Hollies though.

Birch Hill was still there last July.

I notice that you live in Shropshire. Is it possible for you to get to Llangollen at some point to check.

I've just been informed by a friend of mine who lives in Birch Hill,that looking at the map I gave,if you turn on to Birch Hill from Brook Street,it is about 500 yards on the right hand side,up the hill.
