Ynys Môn: adeiladu t? a llongddrylliad

Ystrad Awel', the house GP John Glyn Jones and his wife Mair have had built near Brynsiencyn, is complete, its modernity apparent inside and out. Their daughter Annes – happy owner of a dolls' house and maker of sandcastles – can now play on the balcony overlooking the Menai Strait. The coaster 'Hindlea', however, has been wrecked in a hurricane off Moelfre (27/10/1959), and the steamship 'Bobara' grounded off Rhoscolyn (24/1/1955). South Stack lighthouse also features.

Annes grew up to be a writer and poet – Annes Glynn – and won the Prose Medal at the National Eisteddfod in 2004. Mair (nee Humphreys) was from Denbigh and worked as Assistant Medical Officer for Anglesey County Council, John Glyn from Nefyn where his parents kept a general store after his father, a ship's captain, had retired from the sea. His uncle Robert J Jones [known as Robin] was the Nefyn pharmacist and recorded 1930s/40s community life on film. Inheriting his equipment, John Glyn continued filming 1940s-70s. The entire crew of the 'Hindlea' was rescued, despite the hurricane, and the Moelfre lifeboat's coxswain awarded an RNLI Gold Medal. The 'Bobara' crew was also saved, the ship refloated.
