 Carmarthen, the Guildhall 1906 (ref: 53738) |
Year: 1900s
Pc on duty Guildhall Square, Carmarthen 1906. A memory of Carmarthen, Dyfed The Police officer on duty standing on the pavement is my great grandfather, Thomas Rees, Pc No.2, who served from 1903 to 1911 in Carmarthen town. He was one of the twelve ' Coppers' of Carmarthen town, also known as the 'Carmarthen Shilling'. I am currently a serving Police Officer with the Dyfed Powys Police, stationed at Haverfordwest, Pembs. Posted: 08/12/2007 10:33 by Paul Rees |

 Ferryside, 1925 (ref: 77310) |
The Square, Ferryside A memory of Ferryside, Dyfed 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 |

 Ferryside, Coast and Boatman 1925 (ref: 77309) |
Year: 1930s
PGRIFFITHS@SCREAMING.NET A memory of Ferryside, Dyfed 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 |

Youth Club A memory of Ferryside, Dyfed 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 |
