I remember playing hide and seek with family and friends, one of our hiding places was the war bunker at the park, then when they bricked it up, we were gutted. Every year we go back as my father was from Saron and I always look at the bunker.

Gwynedd memories
I spent two wonderful summers in Pontllyfni in 1974 and 1976. I was a college student from the U.S., visiting Wales with a friend who had a cousin living there. The family owned a small inn just up the road from the beach. Visitors from out of country were somewhat rare in Pontllyfni at that time and we... [more]

Castle Square in the 1930s was the terminal point for a bus service to Beddgelert run by the Brown Bus Service. Memory has it that the bus ran every two hours or so and had a garage (now a mountain-climbing gear retailers) on the right hand side of the main road entering Beddgelert.
The bus shown, a brown and cream... [more]

Castle Square of the 1950s and 60s had a vibrancy that is absent nowadays. This was because all of the local bus services terminated there and a constant stream of people dismounted to go about their business throughout the day. People from the hillside communities came to town to do their shopping, buy food, clothing, hardware etc. Families arriving from Liverpool... [more]

My memories of Clynnog years ago were good ones, Halloween was our favourite time, we used to just pull gates off hinges, and leave them. The atmosphere of Clynnog then was very happy and innocent, no one to hurt anyone, all neighbours happy to help each other. We climbed mountains, and were gone for hours with no worries of danger,went swimming... [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.

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.

Conwy, Denbighshire and Flintshire Photographic Memories
Noted for being the home of William Gladstone, who is commemorated by the water fountain on the right, Hawarden has a long history. The scene here is little altered today. The curious row of arches beyond the hotel are said to be the site of the medieval shambles or shops, and some are now converted to a bus shelter. The horses and carriage perhaps wait for visitors from the entrance to the old castle.
