As a child I lived in a lovely house called Glanafon next to the old County Store bakery in St Clears with my mother Anglea and step-dad Malcolm, and my 2 sisters, Rosemarie and Teresa. Unfortunately Teresa passed away over 20 years ago whilst we lived in Wales, but the loving memories of my family and fantastic innocent memories of our... [more]

I remember Mrs Robblin used to keep a sweet shop in her pantry, which you had to walk through her living room to get to. I lived in Hill Park and as children we would walk up to the top of Coxhill and her house was tucked in on the left hand side.
I remember there would usually be a... [more]

We as a family stayed in what we called 'the shack', it was situated next to the Amroth Arms. The shack was on a large piece of land. A stream ran through the grounds, it went under the road into the sea, and often when the tide was high it would come over the road into the garden. The shack was... [more]

I and my family stayed at the Ferry House, next to the Boat House from 1965 to 1973. The house was then owned by the wife of my dad's boss and we used to be able to go for a fortnight each summer. We used to park our car, with permission, on the drive of a big house opposite Dylan Thomas's... [more]

When I was a child, my grandparents had a static caravan on the 'Zealand' caravan park in Saundersfoot (now part of Scar Farm). We stayed there every school holiday and I have many lovely memories; many include a bag of chips and the steep walk up the hill beside the Hean Castle Pub. Saundersfoot feels like home to me...

Tenby and Saundersfoot Photographic Memories
The mother and child appear to have been dressed and posed especially for the photograph. In late Victorian and early Edwardian times, this part of the village was regarded as a select residential area. The turning to the right off St Bride's Hill leads down to the Glen. The fields have now been more fully developed with residential property.

Tenby and Saundersfoot Photographic Memories
In the distance are the ruins of a once great mansion, Scotsborough, dating back to the 14th century. It passed through a variety of hands and was last occupied in 1824, when it was converted to tenements. An epidemic of smallpox broke out amongst the inhabitants, and the survivors then fled the house. Despite their decay, the ruins still display some fine architectural details. ... [more]

Tenby and Saundersfoot Photographic Memories
The first reference to a slipway on Priory Bay was in 1897. In 1958, owing to increases in the amount of farm produce being transported from Caldey, steps were taken to improve the landing facility for boats. Redundant barges, relics from the D-Day landings, were filled with concrete and sunk to extend the slipway. Landing alongside, a boat from Tenby is collecting waiting day visitors to the island. ...
