Newcastle Emlyn, the Bridge c1955 (ref: N118042)
Lived here when I was young
I'm writing this on behalf of my mum who lived near here when she was young. Her grandfather owned a bakery / tea room at the top of that hill just over the bridge. The family then moved away to Caerau near Maesteg. I know she still wonders if she has got any family left in Newcastle Emlyn as she remembers she had other family there when they left.

  Year: 1994 Ffoselig Farm
A memory of Huntworth, Somerset

Lived on a wonderful farm. The Welsh farmer living there still to this day runs this farm which has been in his family for generations.

Would love to go back there again. Very fond memories of hay making, feeding cattle and horses.

A Welsh neighbour up the lane, at 87 still worked his farm and spoke very little english. A wonderful old chap!  Although I do not know if he remains there.

  A favourite place
A memory of New Quay, Dyfed

Of all our (my wife & I) favourite places in Wales, Newquay comes top of a long list of places. It was only sometime in the mid 1980's, that we first discovered this haven. We've been back numerous times, never bored with it. Two things spring to mind, Dylan Thomas & Dolphins. I would love to hear a local's view. What did it used to be like, years ago? What is it like in the winter when tourists are not about? For some years, we wanted to move to Wales, & Newquay was top of the list.

  Year: 1940s The wartime Liverpool Evacuees
A memory of New Quay, Dyfed

William Manning was allocated to us in Church Street. On the day of his arrival he climbed onto the rear of the stone pier and watched the waves breaking against the stones, became dizzy and fell in. He was rescued just before he drowned by New Quay's retired Captain Rees. My mother a retired nurse gave him a brandy in hot milk and put him to bed with a hot water bottle. He was as right as rain the next day and joined our family for breakfast. Mair P. (the Bank House)
