Other Information
Information from Bill King:
My grandfather, Edgar Watcyn Parry, ran an Abergavenny butcher shop called Denner’s, which was located at 13 Frogmore St. in the 1930s (now the location of a charity shop, I believe). In fact, for a few years in the mid-’30s, he and his family lived in the apartment up above the shop. (Years ago, on one of our visits to Abergavenny, the person who was running a shop there at the time let us take my mother upstairs to reminisce!)
