Vacation at Kiln Park
This was a really enjoyable vacation we spent at Kiln Park, my two daughters, my husband & myself. It was our first caravan holiday. We all had such good fun. We spent many a happy hour down on the beach, and the weather was beautiful. Last edited: 14/04/2008 12:34 by Brenda Vanderwert |

 Tenby, the Harbour 1890 (ref: 28041) |
'The Annie'.
The owner was my grandfather George Rowe. My father, his son, was born in Tenby in 1905 and died in late 1999 aged 93 years. You might be interested to learn that the boat (M26) in the middle of your picture was called ''The Annie'' and was wrecked near Goscar Rock in a severe storm. My grandfather (the skipper) was found half drowned by my grandmother on the beach. I recollect from accounts given by my father that the rudder broke in the storm and there was no way to control the ship. It ran aground on the only rock on the north beach between Goscar and the harbour! My grandfather was also a member of the lifeboat crew. I am not sure which lifeboat but on one occasion it was swept down to Swansea and the crew returned three days later but not before the families had assumed they had been lost. I think they had gone to help the Hardwick lightship. Last edited: 11/05/2006 11:28 by Pat Devlin |

Happy Holidays A memory of Penally, Dyfed My husband, myself and 2 daughters have spent many happy holidays camping in Penally in the 1970s and early 1980s. We camped in a field near the pub owned by a farming family, the sun always shone, we spent hours on the beautiful beach, kids and dogs playing happily, we always visited Lydstep, Saundersfoot, Bosherton lily ponds, the chapel at St. Govans, St. Davids Bay, Pendine sands. In the evenings we used to walk into Tenby on the beach and eat in the Pam Pam Restaurant and visit the ice cream parlour on Frog St. owned by the Fecci family. There was a chap from Burnley, our home town, who owned the Kilgetty Arms. I now breed and show Irish Setters (we always took them on holiday with us) and my Kennel Club affix is Pennally......Sue Morgan Last edited: 14/07/2008 09:53 by First Name Last Name |

 Narberth, Coxhill Council Estate c1955 (ref: N115043f) |
Year: 1972
Robblins Sweet shop A memory of Narberth, Dyfed I remember Mrs Robblin used to keep a sweet shop in her pantry, which you had to walk through her living room to get to. I lived in Hill Park and as children we would walk up to the top of Coxhill and her house was tucked in on the left hand side. I remember there would usually be a coal fire burning and two gentlemen sat on a sofa smoking their pipes! Years later my Aunty, Uncle and cousin lived in the very house, and it had been modernised by then. Last edited: 09/06/2008 09:45 by Philippa Price |

 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.
