Gwynedd memories
Home Sweet Home
I first found the hamlet of Llanelian some 15 years ago after visiting Anglesey on a regular basis for the last 25 years. I found the peace and quiet of the area very pleasant. The walks are refreshing and the views from Porth Eilian are wonderful. The church is one of the wonders of the area.
I work in Wilmslow in Cheshire and now commute to Llanelian MY HOME SWEET HOME!
Hewitts
I spent many holidays in Benllech, although Golden Sands holiday camp needs bringing in to the 21st century as it is still the same as it was in the 70s.
Liverpool Pilots
Fond memories of going to Amlwch Port to play as children and walking along Llancarw to Llaneilian with two or three younger children tagging along with us, and waving to the pilots as they moored outside Almwch Port.
Borth Amlwch
I am now in my mid 80's. I lived in Borth from the age of about three until eleven years at 23 Well St (Lon Wen). This was during the days of the depression and conditions in the port were grim. Many of the men had joined the whaling fleets and as they sailed past North Anglesey from Liverpool the families would gather on Llam Carw and wave tablecloths. At the bottom of Well Street, just above the park, there was a fish and chip shop owned by a Mr. Pierce. There was a lane by the side of the shop where there was a pump from which we obtained our drinking water. Close to this pump was a sweet shop. Across the road on the southern side of the park there was a bakery and alongside of the bakery was a lane leading to a place I knew as 'Gwaith Paent' where the was a type of turret in a pond and a big square cement erection. Where Craigydon... Read more
Walk Down to The Bay
We used to walk down to Red Wharf Bay on the first night at my aunt's who had a house in the village at the bottom of the steep hill called Journeys End. It was wonderful to go to the paddly bridge as we called it and gaze out at the bay, knowing this was the start of our six week holiday. We went here from about 1950 to 1963.
Teenagers Camping & Boating C.1970
Hi All. Den from St. Helens. Summer in Anglesey, first car, first boat, first meetings with young ladies of Llangefni. It could have been 1969, I'm not sure now, a group of mates from St Helens set out on holiday in a Triumph Courier Van in grey, Reg No 837 EDM. On top was a polystyrene white boat and inside a top of the range tent, all belonging to Prescot Camping. The weather then was always glorious in summer and we were on our first adventure. We met some ladies from Llangefni and we all spent the days and evenings together, they then walked home and we walked around to the pub (The Ship). What we didn't realise was that pubs were shut on Sundays. The first Sunday, because we didn't have enough money to join St Davids Club, we drove all the way home to St Annes Club in Sutton. We then drove all the way back to go to sleep and prepare for another day of heaven. (I... Read more
1970s to Present - Memories
I have many happy childhood memories of this lovely place - we had a caravan around the corner in Lligwy Bay (nr Benllech) for over 10 years and this was one of the best beaches around. I remember walking from Llligwy around the headland where you could see this place, and trips in the car to this bay where we pitched our windbreaker and had a picnic on the beach, whilst building sand castles of course - fantastic. Also some really interesting neolithical sites nearby and ruins, plus the tales of the various shipwrecks around that coast. Loads for a small child to take in and a very mystical place, lots of adventures. You can see the remnants of a wreck still in the water off the cliffs near Molfre. I returned to the bay recently and had lunch at the Ship Inn, brill place and great food - but, not changed a bit. Like stepping back in time apart from a new block of town houses on the sea...
