![]() Newcastle Emlyn, the Bridge c1955 (ref: N118042) |
Lived here when I was young A memory of Newcastle Emlyn, Dyfed 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. Last edited: 01/04/2008 15:02 by First Name Last Name |

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. Last edited: 05/03/2008 09:03 by Victoria Curtis |
