Stricklands Row, MOLD

[diddy5]

I am wondering where about this was. I think it was near Wrexham Street and what's in its place now?

Hi there,

Try the Mold and District Civic Society on 01352741422. They are the local historical society and may be able to assist.

Good luck.

Hi diddy

I think it was where the Mold, & District Ex-Servicemen's Club (aka The Bottom Club) is now but I'm waiting for my my dad to get back to me.

The address of the Bottom Club is 77 Wrexham Street

If I'm right then Strickland's Row was where the car park is now because my Taid is always telling us he was born in the car park!!

Thanks for that. My great grandmother was living there in 1881. I had an idea it was round Wrexham Street but not sure. This brings me to my next question. My gr.grandmother was methodist so I'm wondering which would have been her local church so I can make an attempt to find out where the records are likely to be as I know not all Mold non-conformist records are in Hawarden.

Hi Diddy

Sorry its taken me so long to confirm but Strickland's Row was where the Bottom Club is now.

My Tiad tells that he was born there (1926) and it was a row of five houses. They were 2 up, 2 down buildings with no back yard and no back door! There was a communal toilet at the bottom of the row and although the buildings had running water in 1926 there was a stand pipe outside the third house.

Hi, just discovered this site. Re Stricklands Row, I believe it was down the alleyway next but one to Feccis in Wrexham Street. Part of the row has been restored into a single house. If you go behind Feccis into the car park you will see the remains of the front of the row (now just a wall) stretching from the restored house to the Darby & Joan building. You can see the former windows now blocked off. Hope this helps

Hi
I’m not sure how old this thread is but anyway…..
The row of cottages that Wrexthedragon refers to was actually called Foundry Yard according to the town map of 1871. Stricklands Row was located behind what is today Ladbrokes. The row of cottages would have been accessed along what is today Grosbenor St but back in 1871, Grosvenor St did not exist. Interestingly, the right hand side of Fecci’s was a pub in 1871 called the Founders Arms. Today, the Derby & Joan and council car park occupy the area where Stricklands Row would have been. Hope this helps
