Year: 1943
Newgale since the 1940s A memory of Newgale, Dyfed New Added 2 days ago My family built a chalet in Newgale in 1943. This was in the middle of the Second World War. We had many holidays there over the years and were joined by friends on many occasions. After 33 years the chalet needed replacing and this was done in 1976. During the war, holiday workers came to the area to work on local farms and were housed in various properties in Newgale. On the Sands Cafe car park a dining building was constructed. Every week the Ministry of Information sent a film unit around to show feature films for the holiday workers, and local people were also able to see the films. There was no electricity in Newgale at the time but the film unit came with their own generator. Graham Hay Last edited: 01/12/2008 11:42 by Grahamfirst Name Haylast Name |

 Haverfordwest, High Street c1950 (ref: h41017) |
The abandoned car. A memory of Haverfordwest, Dyfed 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. Posted: 11/05/2006 12:55 by Mr D Thomas |

 Pembroke, the Castle 1890 (ref: 27959a) |
Pembroke A memory of Pembroke, Dyfed 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.

Pembroke, the Castle 1890 (ref: 27959a) |
Year: 1890s
Castle Quay, Pembroke A memory of Pembroke, Dyfed 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. Posted: 21/12/2007 14:44 by Max Sinclair |

 Llanrhian, Traethllyfn Beach c1960 (ref: L267160) |
Holidays A memory of Llanrhian, Dyfed We came to Pembrokeshire on family holdiays all through the 1960s and early 1970s. This beach was our favourite although we called it, mistakenly, 'Barry Island Beach' as to reach it you had to go through Barry Island Farm and a toll of 10/-. We used to go on holiday with another family and so we would all try to pile into one car to save money. Whilst playing cricket on the beach in 1969 I was approached by a man who asked me to turn out for Llanrhian Cricket Club in a mid-week fixture that night as they were short.
