Hello
I was brought up on the home farm at Pool Park and still live in a cottage on what was the Pool Park estate. The Baggot's built the present mansion and were followed there by the Tate's of Tate and Lyle. In 1930 all the farms etc on the estate were sold off and the mansion was eventually bought by Denbighshire Health Authority and was a Phyciatric hospital until 1988 when it was sold to a builder. The place hasn't been touched since and is now in a terrible state. I actually visited yesterday with a lady who is concerned about the neglect of what were beautifully kept gardens which included a huge walled vegetable garden. It is now like a jungle!. Going back there inspired me to research more about the history of the place. I am prepared to try and find out more about your family history if you wish.
