Promotional leaflet for Reg Mickisch and George Walton's guesthouse at Rhiw Goch, Talywern, 1981.

“They far preferred to pitch themselves as ‘The Old Welsh Farmhouse in the Hills’, as their promotional leaflet put it. It was produced in 1981, ready for their first summer season at Rhiw Goch.” Mike Parker, On the Red Hill, 2019.

Reg Mickisch and George Walton met in 1949 and were together for over 60 years, passing away within a few weeks of each other in 2011. Their story features in Mike Parker’s 2019 book On the Red Hill.
