I worked on a farm, called Glantwelly Faur near Pencader, as my first real job. The farmer's name was David Owen. I only earned £5.00... [more]

MY BROTHER AND I WERE EVACUATED TO LAMPETER IN JULY OF 1944 COMING FROM LONDON AS OUR HOUSE WAS BOMBED. WE WERE TAKEN IN BY MARY AND JOHN POWELL IN "BARLEY MOW". EVEN THOUGH THESE WERE TRYING TIMES FOR OUR PARENTS, IT WAS THE HAPPIEST TIME OF MY CHILDHOOD. AUDREY [LATTER] VOELKER

A Welsh neighbour up the lane, at 87 still worked his farm and spoke very little... [more]

On tracing my family tree I found out that I was related to William Giffiths,born 1812 in Aergorlech. I recently went to view the village and surrounding countryside and it is a really pretty village located next to Bechfa forest, the bridge is a fasanating design and the river beautiful.

I used to live in the farm house and my grandparents lived next door in the barn to Bed House. I loved it there and I hope whoever is there now is having a fantastic time. Wish we hadn't moved. x

Tenby and Saundersfoot Photographic Memories
The mother and child appear to have been dressed and posed especially for the photograph. In late Victorian and early Edwardian times, this part of the village was regarded as a select residential area. The turning to the right off St Bride's Hill leads down to the Glen. The fields have now been more fully developed with residential property.

Tenby and Saundersfoot Photographic Memories
In the distance are the ruins of a once great mansion, Scotsborough, dating back to the 14th century. It passed through a variety of hands and was last occupied in 1824, when it was converted to tenements.
