my mother who is now 76 years of age,was talking with my son who is doing a world war 2 project at school.Only last night she was telling him,that in 1939 october,she aged 8 and a half and her then baby brother aged just 10 months along with their mother were evecuated to stradey castle from vauxhall,sw london. They stayed for 10 weeks,and my mother said how the statues in the long hall scared the life out of them and also the nearby woods was something she had never seen before.My mothers maiden name was joan trim and her brother roy and late mother florence.The owners were by the name of lewis a laird i believe,by all accounts very nice people.I wondering on behalf of my mother,its the castle still there etc.Thank you Robert Penfold Posted: 28/01/2008 17:09 by First Name Last Name |

 Llanelli, Parc Howard c1965 (ref: L73090) |
Year: 1968
A view from the band stand
I was born in 1965, the year the photo was taken and at the time my dad was a gardener at Parc Howard. I remember going to visit him almost every day, in the summer months, with either my grandmother or mother. This was a very familiar view taken from the band stand. After what felt like hours of playing I would be taken to the cafe and bought sweets from a large select behind a glass cabinet. Often we would go up the hill (to the left in the photo) to watch the old men play bowls and as I grew older I would play on the putting green. Posted: 19/11/2006 20:07 by David Charles |
