Ruthin
Coordinates: 53°06′58″N 3°18′22″W / 53.116°N 3.306°W / 53.116; -3.306
Ruthin (
i/ˈrɪθɪn/ RITH-in; Welsh: Rhuthun) is the county town of Denbighshire in north Wales. Located around a hill in the southern part of the Vale of Clwyd - the older part of the town, the castle and Saint Peter's Square are located on top of the hill, while many newer parts of the town are on the floodplain of the River Clwyd (which became apparent on several occasions in the late 1990s—new flood control works costing £3 million were inaugurated in autumn 2003). Ruthin also has villages on the outskirts of the town such as Pwllglas and Rhewl.
The name 'Ruthin' comes from the Welsh words rhudd (red) and din (fort), and refers to the colour of the new red sandstone which forms the geologic basis of the area, and from which the castle was constructed in 1277-1284. The original name of Ruthin was 'Castell Coch yng Ngwern-fôr' (red castle in the sea-swamps). The town developed around the castle and the nearby mill. Maen Huail is a registered ancient monument attributed to the brother of Gildas and King Arthur and is located outside Barclays Bank (formerly Exmewe House), on St Peter's Square.

Is Ruthin the most charming town in Wales ?
The most charming town in Wales is said to be Ruthin, Denbighshire. Steeped in history and full of charming old buildings. It was described by the former chairman of the National Trust as "the most charming small town in Wales". High praise indeed. We enjoyed a wander around the town, discovering what it has to offer while on a recent trip to North Wales. We certainly agree it is a lovely town, but will let you decide if it is The most Charming. Don't forget to Like👍 & Subscribe🔔 to the channel to see where we wander next.

Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020.

A cinematic drone footage premiere of this grand building captured using the mini4pro and edited into an old B&W; style movie .
On a recent visit to Victoria Park in St Helen’s Merseyside we look at Mansion house also known as Cowley house which was built in 1850 and has had various uses over the years .

The history of mansion house, credited to mansionhouse.org :
It was John Andsell, a solicitor in the small but rapidly expanding town of St Helens, who requested the building of Cowley House circa 1850. Still under fifty years of age, Andsell was already quite successful. The brewing and coal owning Speakman family had become his in-laws when, after his work partner Richard Speakman died, he married Richard’s widow. Initially John Andsell and his wife lived in a comfortable house with a large garden on Greenbank, where the former Sandfield Crescent joined Liverpool Road. However, small houses were crowding that area, made smoky and malodorous by nearby pottery, tannery, chemical and gas works.
The chance to move on came in 1847 following the death of John Speakman (Richard Speakman’s brother). John Speakman had owned the land on the northern side of Cowley Hill, which John Andsell (his executor) swiftly purchased.
Set within open countryside, John Speakman’s former fields were swiftly planted to form an estate with Cowley House at its heart. Money was lavished on the new build which was designed to the Italianate style typical of Victorian opulence though unique within the neighbourhood. The building’s architect is unconfirmed; however, is thought to have been Charles Reed, an architect who was Vice Chair at a dinner given by John Andsell to celebrate the building’s completion. This dinner was held at the Talbot Hotel (now “The Sportsman’s”). That same evening sixty-four workmen were provided with a celebratory supper.
Cowley House remained John Andsell’s home until his death in 1885, after which his widow moved on to live in Rainhill with her sisters. The house and grounds were bought in 1886 for £11,000 by St Helens Corporation and the contents of the house and outbuildings were auctioned. At this time, changes were made including (thanks to a gift of land from David Gamble) a new entrance (St Mark’s Gate) at the corner of North Road and Rutland Street, making the proposed new ‘park’ much more accessible to the townsfolk. New flower beds were stocked with plants brought from the greenhouses. Seats were provided and bent hoops were installed to keep wayward feet off the grass. A much enlarged lake and a bandstand were envisaged though not built at the time. The new ‘Cowley Hill Park’ opened in June 1886; however its name was short lived. To commemorate the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 1887, David Gamble renamed it ‘Victoria Park’.
Ten years later the lawn area nearest the house was transformed by the current terracotta fountain which presented by Sir Henry Doulton along with other gifts including two chairs which were known to local youngsters as the King’s chair and Queen’s chair. By this time, the house had become a museum, opened in 1892, and its collection was enhanced by loans from the Victoria and Albert Museum and by gifts from local donors.
Following closure of the museum, the building became the base for St Helens Parks and Cemeteries; however, was then abandoned and sadly become increasingly derelict. Fortunately in 1993/94 a local charity – Age Concern St Helens – purchased the house and immediate grounds (including formal gardens, courtyard, outbuildings and parking areas) and set about restoring this beautiful venue.

The most charming town in Wales is said to be Ruthin, Denbighshire.
Steeped in history and full of charming old buildings. It was described by the former chairman of the National Trust as "the most charming small town in Wales". High praise indeed.
We enjoyed a wander around the town, discovering what it has to offer while on a recent trip to North Wales.
We certainly agree it is a lovely town, but will let you decide if it is The most Charming.

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint YouTube channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

A cinematic drone footage premiere of this grand building captured using the mini4pro and edited into an old B&W; style movie .
On a recent visit to Victoria Park in St Helen’s Merseyside we look at Mansion house also known as Cowley house which was built in 1850 and has had various uses over the years .

The history of mansion house, credited to mansionhouse.org :
It was John Andsell, a solicitor in the small but rapidly expanding town of St Helens, who requested the building of Cowley House circa 1850. Still under fifty years of age, Andsell was already quite successful. The brewing and coal owning Speakman family had become his in-laws when, after his work partner Richard Speakman died, he married Richard’s widow. Initially John Andsell and his wife lived in a comfortable house with a large garden on Greenbank, where the former Sandfield Crescent joined Liverpool Road. However, small houses were crowding that area, made smoky and malodorous by nearby pottery, tannery, chemical and gas works.
The chance to move on came in 1847 following the death of John Speakman (Richard Speakman’s brother). John Speakman had owned the land on the northern side of Cowley Hill, which John Andsell (his executor) swiftly purchased.
Set within open countryside, John Speakman’s former fields were swiftly planted to form an estate with Cowley House at its heart. Money was lavished on the new build which was designed to the Italianate style typical of Victorian opulence though unique within the neighbourhood. The building’s architect is unconfirmed; however, is thought to have been Charles Reed, an architect who was Vice Chair at a dinner given by John Andsell to celebrate the building’s completion. This dinner was held at the Talbot Hotel (now “The Sportsman’s”). That same evening sixty-four workmen were provided with a celebratory supper.
Cowley House remained John Andsell’s home until his death in 1885, after which his widow moved on to live in Rainhill with her sisters. The house and grounds were bought in 1886 for £11,000 by St Helens Corporation and the contents of the house and outbuildings were auctioned. At this time, changes were made including (thanks to a gift of land from David Gamble) a new entrance (St Mark’s Gate) at the corner of North Road and Rutland Street, making the proposed new ‘park’ much more accessible to the townsfolk. New flower beds were stocked with plants brought from the greenhouses. Seats were provided and bent hoops were installed to keep wayward feet off the grass. A much enlarged lake and a bandstand were envisaged though not built at the time. The new ‘Cowley Hill Park’ opened in June 1886; however its name was short lived. To commemorate the Queen’s Golden Jubilee in 1887, David Gamble renamed it ‘Victoria Park’.
Ten years later the lawn area nearest the house was transformed by the current terracotta fountain which presented by Sir Henry Doulton along with other gifts including two chairs which were known to local youngsters as the King’s chair and Queen’s chair. By this time, the house had become a museum, opened in 1892, and its collection was enhanced by loans from the Victoria and Albert Museum and by gifts from local donors.
Following closure of the museum, the building became the base for St Helens Parks and Cemeteries; however, was then abandoned and sadly become increasingly derelict. Fortunately in 1993/94 a local charity – Age Concern St Helens – purchased the house and immediate grounds (including formal gardens, courtyard, outbuildings and parking areas) and set about restoring this beautiful venue.

Ruthin (i/ˈrɪθɪn/ RITH-in; Welsh: Rhuthun) is the county town of Denbighshire in north Wales. Located around a hill in the southern part of the Vale of Clwyd - the older part of the town, the castle and Saint Peter's Square are located on top of the hill, while many newer parts of the town are on the floodplain of the River Clwyd (which became apparent on several occasions in the late 1990s—new flood control works costing £3 million were inaugurated in autumn 2003). Ruthin also has villages on the outskirts of the town such as Pwllglas and Rhewl.
The name 'Ruthin' comes from the Welsh words rhudd (red) and din (fort), and refers to the colour of the new red sandstone which forms the geologic basis of the area, and from which the castle was constructed in 1277-1284. The original name of Ruthin was 'Castell Coch yng Ngwern-fôr' (red castle in the sea-swamps). The town developed around the castle and the nearby mill. Maen Huail is a registered ancient monument attributed to the brother of Gildas and King Arthur and is located outside Barclays Bank (formerly Exmewe House), on St Peter's Square.
