Dyfed memories

Where I Grew up

Well, I grew up in Havens Head, it's a lovely quiet place, there is loads of wildlife like foxes and squirrels, badgers loads of wild birds, and there is a lovely footpath where you can look over the lake and that leads to the docks and the marina.

School Swimming Sports

The Swimming Pool c1955

I used to live at No 6 Concrete Houses just over at the end of the wrath. I lived there for around 7 years from when I was born in 1969. It used to cost 2p to get in but sometimes we used to climb over the wall. I did swim in the pool during the summer sports. Steven Moxi and Jason Thomas were my friends from the pill.

I remember playing with my brothers and chucking the seaweed about on the beach.

I'm not sure when, but my dad helped build the sea wall and a load of my family are from Hakin and Milford. Does anyone remember Rabiotti's Restaurant? It was my uncle's.

Post Office

The old post office in the picture once belonged to my family, as did the the farm that once stood to the left of the old post office. I spent the first 18 years of my life growing up in Marloes. It's a lovely place to visit as it's steeped in history, from Henry Tudor to WW2, also the heritage of the Kensington family and the Kensington estate of St Brides. Marloes is outlined with some of Wales's most beautiful coastlines, with world famous islands such as Skomer with its seals, choughs and puffins. And not forgeting Marloes sands where in the summer of 2011 a Hhollywood movie was filmed. (Its not the first time). Yours, L

Bath House

I would like a photo of the old Bath House at Neyland. If anyone has any old pictures which I could have copies from I would be grateful. garry.thomas@talk21.com Garry Thomas

The Abandoned Car.

High Street c1950
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

This photograph shows my father's car reg EDE 3 at the traffic lights in Castle Square. He was William Gywther Thomas, Divisional Highways Surveyor. The reason the car looks as if it has been abandoned was that the traffic lights had failed and father was investigating the reason at the control box on the corner of the street to the left of the photograph out of shot. The police are there to direct the traffic which was not very taxing as you can see from the volume of traffic passing through the square.
