Learning to Cycle.
I learnt to cycle on this promenade in 1948 and then had many happy hours on my bike exploring Holy Island and the west side of Anglesey. The photo is prior to 1948 as the tall funnelled Trinity House Tender "Beacon" shown top right was replaced by the "Argus" in that year. Thank you for this information - we will change our date to c1946 - Editor
Wrong Way Round!
Photo is the wrong way round, though corrected with the same title under reference 34280A. Thank you for the info - we will remove the incorrect image - Editor.
Holyhead, my Home, my Life, Warts And All
I am from Holyhead, left at 17 years of age to join the military police, served 22 years, had a second career in security, protection, worked in media, met several VIPs and worked for Middle Eastern royalty, retired as a security director of a local security company in Farnborough. I have decided to write a book about my childhood, schooling, service in the army and my life to date. The story is mainly about the warmth and friendship and characters in Holyhead. The item was in the Holyhead and Anglesey Mial 5 Dec 2010. I am looking for photos of Nissen Huts where I was brought up and prefabs, can anyone help me?
