David John and Eirian Howatson moved to the bungalow in 1960. Back then, there was no roundabout or Denbigh bypass, just a small holding that surrounded their home. That was until the late 1970s when plans were submitted for a roundabout following the completion of what at the time was the new Denbigh bypass. David John and Eirian were told they could not build another bungalow on their small holding and they refused to uproot their family, so they stayed put as the roundabout was built around them. The roundabout was completed in 1980 by which time David John had sadly passed away. But 42 years later, it remains in the Howatson family. Life on the roundabout "does get busy at times", says Clwyd Howatson, who has lived there for most of his life, now with his wife and son. The Howatsons, the 64-year-old says, is a big family with seven children and 12 grandchildren who visit the roundabout regularly. "We don't have to worry about any neighbours, but life on the roundabout does get busy at times - especially when the grandchildren stay over," Clwyd says. "I've lived on the roundabout for over 40 years so it's pretty much all I know. We'd lived here for 20 years before that as well so it's been in the family for a long time."
