My great grandfather was foreman at the nurseries in Sandy Lane before
purchasing them from Mr Leigh who retired to Old Colwyn I believe.  Both
are of my grandfather taken in 1908 and 1934.  He lived with his parents
in Pear Tree Cottage next to the nurseries but both the cottage and
greenhouses have now been demolished. My grandfathers brother

inherited the nurseries but failed to continue the  business.
