MYSTERY ROSES

Here we have two fine Rhyl Rose Queen photographs from Peter Trehearn but no information to go with them. At the top is Rose Queen Margaret 1945, and the colour photo is Rose Queen Anthea of unknown date. Can anyone supply further details?

THU 12th AUG 2010 UPDATE: A newspaper cutting supplied by Peter Trehearn reveals Rose Queen Anthea’s year was 1947. She was 14 years of age, her full name was Anthea Valerie Jones and she lived at Tudor Villa, Vaughan Street. She was Rhyl’s 22nd Rose Queen and a student at Rhyl Grammar School. Among those attending Anthea’s Coronation were Rose Queens Margaret (1945), Mary (1946) and Britannia aka Doreen Edwards (1947); May Queens Rhona (1946) and Margaret (1947); and Miss Rhyl Ann Crossland (1947).
