Dyfed memories
A Seaside Holiday by Manorbier Beach
Although this view of Manorbier Castle dates from 1890 it is the only photo in the Francis Frith collection which shows the nearby beach. I am happy to record our family's day on the beach here and it is unchanged more than 120 years later!
My granddaughters Anna and Connie helped me to build a sandcastle and watched the incoming tide wash it away. Anna climbed in and out of the rockpools with Grandma - my wife Elizabeth - and netted two shrimps. The sun shone and we had a lovely time paddling in the waves.
The whole happy experience was rounded off with lunch in the sheltered and sunny garden of the beach cafe. A memory to be recalled with pleasure in years to come!
Castle Quay, Pembroke
The white dust on the water in the Pembroke photgraphs is flour from the Town Watermill. After a minor fire this lovely building was wickedly destroyed by the Council. It would be a major attraction today.
Pembroke
My grandad came from Pembroke, when my dad was a boy he used to visit there. He said he used to have to dress up tidy when going to visit family there. His name was William Rowland Hill. He said one of his relatives done a stained glass window in a little church in Pembroke Dock but I can't remember where it was.
From The 1950s on
I moved to Hundleton in the 1950s and spent all my childhood in and around, living at Belmont then Quiot's Hill before living for a while in Gilead, then back to River View. As the years passed my love for Freshwater West grew but due to the lack of work then I moved away and to this day regret doing so. We used to spend time at the rope swing at the top of the 'old hill,' in the woods near Monkton, biking to Fresh or Angle was never a problem. I try everytime I come home to make a trip to Fresh first on my list of thing to do, unlike Hundleton the best beach in my world hasn't changed.

A Family Business.
I am the lady at the door with my husband Don Weston. The date is about 1959 because that is the year we had electricity in the village and started to sell ice cream. Hence the Walls sign. My parents Mr and Mrs Caesar Evans started the tearooms here in 1922 and after my mother died in 1952 my husband and I ran this little business together very happily for fifty two years until his sudden death three years ago. But I have managed to keep the business going with the help of many good friends. I am now nearly eighty five and affectionately known by many customers as Auntie Vi. We sold your postcards for many years.
