(Redirected from T. Henry Hovendon)
Thomas Henry Hovendon was born in 1841 and served the company from, at least, 1861.
He lived at Coed Y Bleiddiau and by the time the cottage was constructed, he had become described as Superintendant of the Line. By 1884, the title had become general Inspector
He is recorded as still resident in 1901, and working for the company but cannot be found in 1911 so is presumed to have died.
He married twice, firstly to Mary Anne, and subsequently to Isabella
He can be seen in many FR photos and it can only be assumed that when someone applied to take photos of the line Hovendon was sent to accompany them and probably arrange for rolling stock to be positioned as the photographer requested. He would then make sure he was in the picture.
