Grow Llangollen and Llangollen Museum will jointly present an illustrated talk entitled "The Seeds of Llangollen Life - Cuthbert’s, Carter’s and Dobie’s" by David Crane next (Monday).
To launch a programme run by Grow Llangollen, and funded by the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape, David will present the history of the Seed Factory in Llangollen, which, at its height of operations, employed around 20% of the working age population.
He will follow the rise and fall of the company, look at what they did and where they worked, and finish with a 10 minute film showing scenes from inside the factory and at the testing ground at Pentrefelin.
The talk will be at Llangollen Museum, Parade Street, Llangollen LL20 8PW on Monday April 14, with a 7pm start. Admission will be £3 per person, on the door, which includes tea/coffee/biscuits. Everyone is welcome.
As part of the programme, organisers are also looking to collect any memories that people have about the Seed Factory.
David Crane said: "If you have any recollections, either from working there yourself, or from stories of family or friends, please do come along and let us know.
"Also, if you have any photographs or other information about the Seed Factory, either come along to the talk, contact David on dcrane1@btinternet.com or 07852 726934 or pop into the Museum to see him on a Monday, between 10:30am and 4:00pm.
