Flint/Mold?

I think Halkyn is associated with Flint as much as it is associated with Mold. I have often walked from Flint to Halkyn and back, and it appears much nearer to Flint than to Mold. So I have changed this to reflect the truer picture. I hope no-one is put out by this. It is better to be right, though, and anyway, vistors to Halkyn might be interested to know that Flint has a mainline railway station, while travel to Mold (which is inland a few miles) is far more difficult. 213.104.10.177 (talk)

Pubs

I've moved out the section below as (a) it's uncited and (b) it's too detailed. A trimmed version, with cites, could, of course, go back in. ~~

"Halkyn had many public houses in the early 19th century. These public houses included the Crown Inn, (now known as Crown Cottages) which was situated on the left-hand side as you go towards Rhes-y-cae from the Old Halkyn Post Office. The Royal Oak (now a private house known as the Old Royal Oak), directly opposite the Blue Bell down a lane going towards Pen-y-parc Farm. Also the Raven (now known as Raven Cottage) in the Catch; and the Blue Bell Inn, which is still operating. There were also a few shops: a butcher, a post office (originally run from Holly House then from over the road; now closed), the Crown Inn (a shop until 1892, when it was licensed as a beerhouse) and the former Scranton Stores, which occupied Scranton House, now a private house called Swn-y-mynydd."
