Gorst Builders

Merddin Emrys:
Does anyone know what happened to Gorst builders, I notice that they were dissolved in 1995, any other info?

Hugo:
There were a few Gorst Builders and I think Eldon Gorst and Son of Abergele were the original firm.  They built estates all over North Wales and I think they may have started the Penrhyn Beach Estate.  Barry Gorst built some of the Penrhyn Beach East bungalows because I was negotiating to buy a beachside plot from him C1979.
In 1985 I went to see two of the Gorst Brothers in Glan Conwy who were building an estate near the Church but I can't remember their names.
My first bungalow was in Towyn and Eldon Gorst was the builder and as my father knew Tony Gorst  we were able to get a discount for doing some of the work inside the property ourselves.
I never knew what happened to the firm though.

Bri Roberts:
Hugo, the name O E Gorst & Sons to mind.

I believe they merged with Ashworth Bros to become Ashworth-Gorst in the 1980s(?) and then ceased trading at some point in the 1990s.
