Gwynedd memories
Trefriw my Home in The 40's And 50's.
This picture was taken a year after I left Trefriw for Canada. I was married at St. Mary's Church and lived at Tan Dderwen near Crafnant Lake, later at Glanrafon in the village. My parents were the Proprietors of the Victoria Hotel in Llanrwst and I have many happy memories of living in Trefriw, and this was the view from my window. The bus to Conwy stopped in front of the building on the left hand side, and to Llanrwst in front of the hotel on the right hand side. I often walked into Llanrwst over the Gowers Bridge pushing my young son in his pram. Life was quiet and peaceful in Trefriw. Since 1954 I have only been back to Trefriw three times, but the hiraeth is always there.
Major Lester Girls School Holiday
During the late '50s and early '60s, 4th Year girls from Major Lester CP School, Liverpool stayed here for a week each summer. For many of the children this was their first holiday and a wonderful experience of life in the countryside, so different from their inner city experience. I retain quite vivid memories of my visit there in 1960, not only the long walks, rounders on the beach but terrifying each other at night-time with ghost stories!
Caravan Holidays
Ahhh, glorious Penmaenmawr where I have spent some lovely holidays. The sunsets over the bay to Puffin are really something to see, the Fairy Glen and Dwygyfylchi pubs to stay awhile and drink in the atmosphere. The walks along the beautiful sandy beach and surrounding countryside. We had a caravan there and spent so many happy times collecting shells, blackberries, walking down the many little lanes and across the golf course, up to the Sychnant Pass where there is such solitude and you can hear the sound of the birds and smell the country air. The Jubilee path which was cut to commemorate Queen Victoria is a real joy to behold where on a clear day you can see the Isle of Man. Gladstone called it 'Dear old Penmaenmawr' and he was so right. The little town, is well worth a visit and I cannot wait to go again to once again trace my footsteps. The footsteps where some of my ancesters lived a long time ago. They lived in... Read more
OUR FIRST FAMILY HOLIDAY
We had our very first family holiday here, we were a family of five and money was scarce, but what a great time we had, I have very fond memories indeed. I was the oldest of five and had been fortunate enough to have been on a school holiday the year before, we stayed at Brynhead and it was wonderful, I never shut up talking about it, so Mum and Dada mustered enough money together to take us back and stay in a rickety old caravan, it was priceless.
UFO
While visiting the beach at Penmaenmawr in the early 1960s I remember my family and I, along with other people, watching a UFO hovering over the beach for what seemed like hours, but I think was only several minutes. I remember it disappeared from sight very quickly indeed. It was mentioned in the national press. Does anyone else remember this?
YHA
Does anyone have any pics of the old Youth Hostel on the clifftop from the early 1970s?
YHA
My first holiday away from parents was Youth Hostelling in North Wales in 1972 with Ken White. We started off at Conway, and took in Penmaenmawr, Bangor, Bryn Hall, and others. My fondest memory was at Penm, and I returned whilst on honeymoon in 1995 - only to see it being bulldozed to the ground! Did anyone else stay there, and do they have any pictures of it?
