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.

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!

Life in the village
Was wonderful to see this postcard, as I was a child of 7 living in the village, when the photo.was taken. When we moved to the village in 1954 there was no electricity, water was from the village pump and people used chemical or earth closets. In 1960, there was mains water and electricity but no proper sanitation. I have wonderful memories of living in the village, playing in the fields and having easy access to the beach. I have visited the village quite a few times in the past 10 years and have met up with old child hood friends.

Happiest Days of My Life in Valley 1
I am now 52 years of age and hanker after village life after 30 odd years in a city!!. Why? Because in 1960 my parents moved to Valley from Manchester and I started in Valley C.P. Schools soon afterwards. I grew up in the village joining St Michael's choir in the 60s and early 70s and moved away seeking 'excitement'.
I joined the Police in Manchester!
Sometimes I wish I had stayed in Valley. I do know what's going on in relation to youth nuisance and crime etc in the village but it is nothing compared to what others put up with! I am happily married with two grown up children and we all love coming home to Valley.

Extracts From Cemaes Bay & Gwynedd books
Once a main port on this part of the coast with important connections to Liverpool, this small picturesque harbour town is an attraction for sailors of a more leisurely kind these days. In this picture we see a charming street with a definite vernacular feel to it. Notice the small row of cottages on the right with its rendered roof and catslide dormers; the traditional shop fronts; the plain render; and the sash windows. This was long before the days when pebbledash and UPVc windows started to suck the character from such local scenes as this.
