Gwynedd memories

Home Sweet Home

I first found the hamlet of Llanelian some 15 years ago after visiting Anglesey on a regular basis for the last 25 years. I found the peace and quiet of the area very pleasant.  The walks are refreshing and the views from Porth Eilian are wonderful.  The church is one of the wonders of the area.
I work in Wilmslow in Cheshire and now commute to Llanelian MY HOME SWEET HOME!

Liverpool Pilots

Fond memories of going to Amlwch Port to play as children and walking along Llancarw to Llaneilian with two or three younger children tagging along with us, and waving to the pilots as they moored outside Almwch Port.

Borth Amlwch

I am now in my mid 80's. I lived in Borth from the age of about three until eleven years at 23 Well St (Lon Wen). This was during the days of the depression and conditions in the port were grim. Many of the men had joined the whaling fleets and as they sailed past North Anglesey from Liverpool the families would gather on Llam Carw and wave tablecloths. At the bottom of Well Street, just above the park, there was a fish and chip shop owned by a Mr. Pierce. There was a lane by the side of the shop where there was a pump from which we obtained our drinking water. Close to this pump was a sweet shop. Across the road on the southern side of the park there was a bakery and alongside of the bakery was a lane leading to a place I knew as 'Gwaith Paent' where the was a type of turret in a pond and a big square cement erection. Where Craigydon... Read more

Gaerwen Farm

I lived for a number of years at Gaerwen Farm, Bull Bay. The views were fantastic and on a clear day you could see the Isle of Man from the front room windows. Most of the people in the area were really lovely to know. James Francis and his sister Jane, the Rowlands sisters, Glenys Spelling who had the riding school, William Owen who had the farm next door to me and not forgetting the Wilsons who ran the Post Office. I used to shop also up at Cemaes Bay. The wonderful Meagan Owen who had Pioneer Stores. You could buy anything there and it was all top quality.

Skerries View House Cemaes Bay

When I was a young boy, aged about ten or eleven back in 1947/48, I can remember going to stay with Mr & Mrs Henshaw who lived at the above house having moved from Tal Y Cafn in the Conwy Valley. From what I can remember the house had been used by the RAF during the war. We used to cut the hay by hand and make small hay stacks. I used to sleep in a little room overlooking Cemlyn Bay and I can still remember watching the Skerries Light House flashing on and off. When we had walks in the surrounding fields I can remember going into a derelict house that once belonged to a famous singer. Several times a week we would walk in to Cemaes to the shops and then walk back again past Trwyn Y Wylfa Farm. Happy days.

I spent many holidays in Benllech, although Golden Sands holiday camp needs bringing in to the 21st century as it is still the same as it was in the 70s.

We used to walk down to Red Wharf Bay on the first night at my aunt's who had a house in the village at the bottom of the steep hill called Journeys End. It was wonderful to go to the paddly bridge as we called it and gaze out at the bay, knowing this was the start of our six week holiday. We went here from about 1950 to 1963.
