My grandfather Maurice Griffiths had moved from London and I believe he used to operate the ferry from time to time. He used to live at Woodbine Villas and latterly a beach cottage close to station. Difficult to tell whether he is person in picture.
My father took us for many beach holidays to Ferryside - the sands were idyllic... [more]

I'm only fourteen but still I have some amazing memories of Ferryside, generations of my family have lived here and i'm planning never to leave. Me and my mam, we're looking through all the pictures and everything seemed so simple, I wish it was still like that, I like the look of how things were back then and I really do... [more]

The White Lion facing us and The Ship Inn with portico on left. The small shop at left sold wool and knitting equipment in the 1960s and 1970s. The pub at centre of the picture was knocked down before my day and I can't recall its name. Tucked into the corner, the other side of the Ship Inn is the Dorothy... [more]

This shot is not of the school but of the old school canteen, which we had to walk to. It was also where the youth club was held. It is now used for courses.

I recall being evacuated to Llansaint from London as a child of 7. I lived in a small sweet shop in the the village with a family named Phillips, or Philips. I am now 74 so my memories are not too sharp with regards to names and places

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]

My grandparents Mary Ann and William George Davies lived next door at No 2, my grandmother's brother Evan Evans and his family at No 3, and David Morris known... [more]

The man standing on the bottom left hand side with the white T-shirt and quiff is my grandad! He is now seventy. The car next to him was his first car and his pride and joy!

Carmarthenshire Photographic Memories
The village stands on the east side of the Towy where the river breaks out to sea through a widespread expanse of sandbanks at low tide. This can be partially seen here; the spits are appearing, indicating that the tide is on the ebb.

As we look down onto Ferryside, we can see the main railway line to Carmarthen at the very right-hand side. The line curves along the foreshore of the river Towy, giving passengers a fine view of Llanstephan Castle on the opposite western bank, seen here in the far background.

The man seen pushing off from the shore here, his sizeable skiff equipped with both sails and outboard engine, is no fisherman. By the look of the boarding plank and the amount of seating, he is more likely to be a ferryman. He would need both sources of power to manoeuvre across the dangerous currents of the River Towy whilst carrying... [more]
