  Year: 2007 Edward John Hughes.  
My grandfather Edward John Hughes of Henllys Isaf sadly  passed away on Wednesday 27th of June 2007 at Bryn Beryl at the age of 92.  He will be greatly missed by all who knew him, especially the ones closest to him. My grandmother Pat who he thought the world of, and had been married to for 63 incredible years will need all the support and love from  friends and family at  these difficult times, also his beloved sons Adrian and Valance who meant so much to him.
"Ned" as he was known to the locals was truly a fine gentleman and a well respected character in the village, he always did his upmost to keep the village clean and respectable.  If he wasn't emptying the bins, he was painting the wooden benches or cutting someone's lawn or doing some sort of garden work to help people out.  So I can honestly say he was a big part of Llanbedrog and I'm pretty sure whoever knew taid would agree with me.  He never had a bad word to say about anyone, he always had a zest for life, and that unforgettable smile that always shined when he spoke to you.
I'm sure I am speaking for all of the family and friends by saying he'll never be forgotten and will remain in our hearts forever. xx Rest In Peace xx

Abersoch, Main Street c1965 (ref: A13541)
Year: 1965 Happy Holidays In Abersoch
A memory of Abersoch, Gwynedd

Since 1962 I have always been to Abersoch at least once a year if not two three or four times!!
In the early years we always stopped in a flat over the cowsheds at Tyn y Mur farm. ( These have now been beautifully converted - in our day there was no bath room and an outside loo!!)It was farmed by Mr and Mrs Olwyn Jones. Mr Jones was a lay preacher as well as a farmer and Mrs Jones was a nurse at the hospital in Pwllhelli. I could not believe it when I found this photo as there is Mrs Jones and her lovely Triumph Herald parked outside the newsagents .Happy Days!!

  Year: 1972 Vacations!
A memory of Pwllheli, Gwynedd

As young parents along with our two daughters we would spend many happy vacations in Pwllheli.  Mostly at Butlins Holiday Camp. So many happy memories, arriving at the camp, hoping we would get Blue Camp as it was closer to the amusements and the tennis courts.  The times we would visit the Pwllheli Market. So many happy memories of Pwllheli.  Even now to this day we still talk about those happy days. Both our daughters are grown up now with children of their own so perhaps one day they might take their own children to show them Pwllheli.

  Year: 1942 Picton Castle
A memory of Pwllheli, Gwynedd

I lived in Picton Castle,and as a thirteen year old, I delighted to throw plums off our tree down into the playground of Troed Y Allt school,and watch the scramble of the children take place! It was whilst we lived there that the entire walls were covered with stone pieces, and I would enjoy jumping off the scaffold onto a big heap of sand. Happy days indeed.
