Shared Memories of Ferryside
 Ferryside, 1925 (ref: 77310) |
The Square, Ferryside
The White Lion facing us and The Ship Inn with portico on left. The small shop at left sold wool and knitting equipment in the 1960s and 1970s. The pub at centre of the picture was knocked down before my day and I can't recall its name. Tucked into the corner, the other side of the Ship Inn is the Dorothy Cafe which was run by my great grandparents before the First World War. On the bottom right hand corner are the allotments which were turned into a car park in the 1960s. I had my first ever (legal) pint with my father in The White Lion. Fred Powell ran it after retiring as a prop builder in Ealing Studios in the magic 1950s Last edited: 24/06/2008 09:11 by Gareth Davies |

My grandfather Maurice Griffiths had moved from London and I believe he used to operate the ferry from time to time. He used to live at Woodbine Villas and latterly a beach cottage close to station. Difficult to tell whether he is person in picture. My father took us for many beach holidays to Ferryside - the sands were idyllic then - around 1950's. A most beautiful and heavenly spot on the river! Grateful to hear from anyone who remembers our family Posted: 11/11/2007 08:52 by First Name Last Name |

 Ferryside, the School Canteen and Eva Terrace c1960 (ref: F20065) |
Year: 1963
Youth Club
This shot is not of the school but of the old school canteen, which we had to walk to. It was also where the youth club was held. It is now used for courses. Last edited: 05/01/2007 23:35 by Peter Evans |
