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.
Happy Holidays
My husband, myself and 2 daughters have spent many happy holidays camping in Penally in the 1970s and early 1980s. We camped in a field near the pub owned by a farming family, the sun always shone, we spent hours on the beautiful beach, kids and dogs playing happily, we always visited Lydstep, Saundersfoot, Bosherton lily ponds, the chapel at St. Govans, St. Davids Bay, Pendine sands. In the evenings we used to walk into Tenby on the beach and eat in the Pam Pam Restaurant and visit the ice cream parlour on Frog St. owned by the Fecci family. There was a chap from Burnley, our home town, who owned the Kilgetty Arms. I now breed and show Irish Setters (we always took them on holiday with us) and my Kennel Club affix is Pennally......Sue Morgan
'The Annie'.
The owner was my grandfather George Rowe. My father, his son, was born in Tenby in 1905 and died in late 1999 aged 93 years. You might be interested to learn that the boat (M26) in the middle of your picture was called ''The Annie'' and was wrecked near Goscar Rock in a severe storm. My grandfather (the skipper) was found half drowned by my grandmother on the beach. I recollect from accounts given by my father that the rudder broke in the storm and there was no way to control the ship. It ran aground on the only rock on the north beach between Goscar and the harbour! My grandfather was also a member of the lifeboat crew. I am not sure which lifeboat but on one occasion it was swept down to Swansea and the crew returned three days later but not before the families had assumed they had been lost. I think they had gone to help the Hardwick lightship.
The Changing Joys of Tenby.
I was born in the Flat above Lloyds Bank, Tudor Square, Tenby, Feb 1950 and recall being raised there. I recall the amazing views of the changing colours of the harbour and recall the church bells and chimes of the steeple clock. A horse drawn cart delivered milk and the town was hyperactive and super active in summer. My father and grandmother recalled Lloyd George making speeches from the balcony of the Liberal Club next door to our home. The town was affluent and confident. Down the road and rail line 10 miles away was the depressed former dockyard town of Pembroke Dock whose influence assisted in the decline of the area later, with totally uneducated local Pembrokeshire Labour MPs from the North of England but living in Pembroke Dock who avidly supported the 11 billion Iraq War thereby mortgaging our National Health Service in loyalty to Tony Blair who called us'the fxx welsh'. Tenby is now recovering. So is the country. ... Read more
Vacation at Kiln Park
This was a really enjoyable vacation we spent at Kiln Park, my two daughters, my husband & myself. It was our first caravan holiday. We all had such good fun. We spent many a happy hour down on the beach, and the weather was beautiful.
