Some of the famous local names of the age appear in the above deeds to a local home.
It's interesting to note that even in 1925 (according to the postcard shown on the Art Gallery page addressed to Col. Ritchie) the area was being referred to as Cyffdy rather than Melin-y-Coed. The above deed gave the name of the house followed by "Cyffdy", not Melin-y-Coed. Why was this?
