Gwynedd memories
Troed Yr Arllt
I went to this school in 1957 my teacher was Miss Jones she lived near Pwllheli she always wore a smock flowery pattern when she was teaching us she was lovely also i remember Wendy Shields
Picton Castle
I lived in Picton Castle,and as a thirteen year old, I delighted to throw plums off our tree down into the playground of Troed Y Allt school,and watch the scramble of the children take place! It was whilst we lived there that the entire walls were covered with stone pieces, and I would enjoy jumping off the scaffold onto a big heap of sand. Happy days indeed.
Vacations!
As young parents along with our two daughters we would spend many happy vacations in Pwllheli. Mostly at Butlins Holiday Camp. So many happy memories, arriving at the camp, hoping we would get Blue Camp as it was closer to the amusements and the tennis courts. The times we would visit the Pwllheli Market. So many happy memories of Pwllheli. Even now to this day we still talk about those happy days. Both our daughters are grown up now with children of their own so perhaps one day they might take their own children to show them Pwllheli.
Troed Yr Allt
The memories of Troed Yr Allt make me smile. I have family connections with Pwllheli.
One of my cousins was a teacher at Troed Yr Allt. She now lives there!
Wonderful Childhood
I lived in Crib-y-mor with my grandmother, Emily Roberts, and my mother Patricia Jones (both originally Williamson). I lived opposite Tom Roberts and at an early age developed my own system of visiting everyone. First I would go across to Tom's and follow him around watching him weld or milk the cows or help with plucking chickens. One day we came across a snake and he despatched it very quickly. Most days I would put on my wellies and walk up the lane to the Doctor's cottage and race snails up the kitchen window! Next port of call was Errol's, a girl much older than myself, where I would follow the ducks and be chased by the geese. Next was up to the stream bounding the Pool's farm which I would dam, and then onto the farm. There were 3 Poole sons, David was oldest and I cannot remember the other two. Sometimes I would spend the night there and go back home next day. We left to go... Read more
Working at The Co-Op Shop
I was born in Llanbedrog at Tyn y Siop, moved to 5 Caehendy when 6 years old. Many of my friends have now have passed away, fond memories of Gareth --Phillip---Gwynfryn --- Dafydd. The bicycle you see by the shop (which was the Co-op) was the one I used after school to make deliveries to customers. My pay was £1 per week.
Best time in Llanbedrog was the summer months when the beach was full and busy with the boats etc.
Edward John Hughes.
My grandfather Edward John Hughes of Henllys Isaf sadly passed away on Wednesday 27th of June 2007 at Bryn Beryl at the age of 92. He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, especially the ones closest to him. My grandmother Pat who he thought the world of, and had been married to for 63 incredible years will need all the support and love from friends and family at these difficult times, also his beloved sons Adrian and Valance who meant so much to him.
"Ned" as he was known to the locals was truly a fine gentleman and a well respected character in the village, he always did his upmost to keep the village clean and respectable. If he wasn't emptying the bins, he was painting the wooden benches or cutting someone's lawn or doing some sort of garden work to help people out. So I can honestly say he was a big part of Llanbedrog and I'm pretty sure whoever knew taid would agree... Read more
