This apple-shaped money box was given to Margaret Roberts as a child. It was definitely made in Buckley. She was born in 1870. Her parents lived in a cottage by the clay pit at Belmont where Belmont Crescent is now. They moved to Red Road where they opened a baker's shop and subsequently into another shop in Alltami Road. Both properties in March 2007 were in a derelict state.
