During the last war my father served in the Merchant Navy and saw Aberdaron from the sea, that was to be the beginning of many trips and a life-long love of the village.
I started going to Aberdaron at about the age of six and have been going each year since then. My parents, now both sadly deceased, loved it... [more]

Gwynedd memories
My grandparents Robert and Rosie Hornby built Hawdd Amor in Llangwnadl, and I spent most of my holidays there, even appearing with my sister Joy and my father Don on a Frith postcard of Penllech beach. Years later, after Robert had died and Rosie moved away and then passed on, my parents bought a static caravan on a filed I only... [more]

Patient transported to mainland for emergency surgery

A young man was taken ill on Bardsey Island one evening and a request for a doctor to attend the patient reached the mainland. The weather was stormy, but eventually a... [more]

The first time I stayed at Tyn-a Don farm I was about 6, I fell in love with the place straight away. I remember we borrowed a tent from a friend of the family who took us there that first time. The kids of today would be horrified at what we had to last us for the whole 2 weeks we... [more]

The greenhouses you see in this photo were my father's, he also built a house on the ground behind the trees after this photo was taken, we lived there for many happy years.

How sad I was to see this once stunning hotel boarded up, I had such a fantastic time working there and met some lovely people. I always will remember a gentleman call Albe, what a funny man, I think he was the Del-boy of Abersoch.

Since 1962 I have always been to Abersoch at least once a year if not two three or four times!!
In the early years we always stopped in a flat over the cowsheds at Tyn y Mur farm. ( These have now been beautifully converted - in our day there was no bath room and an outside loo!!)It was farmed... [more]

I was born at Tyn y Siop next door to Snowdon Stores when there were 12 shops in Llanbedrog, now sadly there is only one. The bike you see in the photo was the one I used to make.

Extracts From Aberdaron & Gwynedd books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Aberdaron, inspired by Frith photos.
Almost at the end of the Lleyn Peninsula, this small village opens out onto the beach and Cardigan Bay. Here the few visitors that could make their way here enjoy a lazy day on the beach. Aberdaron's 12th-century church of St Hywyn was ministered for many years by one of the great Welsh poets of the 20th century (or any century),... [more]

Conwy, Denbighshire and Flintshire Photographic Memories
William Gladstone laid the foundation stone for this impressive building in 1899 and donated his library of 250,000 books; after his death his family built a further wing in 1906, to the right of the porch block, to provide accommodation for resident students. It still thrives today as a place for reflective study, and ensures that Gladstone's legacy continues.

Conwy, Denbighshire and Flintshire Photographic Memories
The path beckons the visitor to venture into the woods to discover the story that this castle might tell. The large keep peers over the trees in a show of strength, but the castle was mostly in ruins when this photograph was taken, and the gardens were as much the attraction to visitors as the castle was.
