The Wartime Liverpool Evacuees

William Manning was allocated to us in Church Street. On the day of his arrival he climbed onto the rear of the stone pier and watched the waves breaking against the stones, became dizzy and fell in. He was rescued just before he drowned by New Quay's retired Captain Rees. My mother a retired nurse gave him a brandy in hot milk and put him to bed with a hot water bottle. He was as right as rain the next day and joined our family for breakfast. Mair P. (the Bank House)

RE: RE: The Wartime Liverpool Evacuees

The bank house? Mine is opposite there now, Gwalior. My Mamgy lived next door in Gwmryn (Mary Gibby). I would love to hear more about New Quay during those times as my family has been in the area for many many years, and about good old Captain Rees - you still hear his name around the village to this day. x
