My Mom's little Dog
Mom was born in Swansea in 1924. She adopted a dog from our local Animal Care and Control in Michigan 1998 - she fell in love with her. She named her Pennard after this place. She loved it here. Last edited: 05/11/2006 05:52 by Susie Somerville-Franz |

 Parkmill, the Village 1893 (ref: 32755) |
Year: 1957
On our way to Three Cliffs Bay A memory of Parkmill, West Glamorgan For my sister, Carol, and I, Parkmill meant only one thing - Shepherd's Shop. The only place to buy ice cream and sweets and even the new 'Coca Cola'. We always stopped here on our way to and my aunt's wooden bungalow almost on the beach at Three Cliffs Bay where we spent many, many happy summers. What wonderful days they were.

Mumbles Memories A memory of Oystermouth, West Glamorgan My Great, Great, Grandfather planted these trees which you can see running down the middle of the photo in 1883 when the cemetery was opened and they are still present to this day. His name was Henry Harris (1827-1911). He died at 84yrs old. His wife Elizabeth Harris passed away in 1920 aged 88yrs at the Cemetery Lodge where they both resided.

 Mumbles, the Lighthouse 1893 (ref: 32731) |
Year: 1890s
A Happy Memory A memory of Mumbles, West Glamorgan Whenever I heard the words "The Mumbles" as a child, it conjured up a very romantic image in my mind. According to family history, my Great-grandfather Thomas Stokes proposed to my Great-grandmother Matilda Thomas there. I can just imagine them enjoying the lovely view and sea air and planning their future. They left Wales for America in 1908, never to return to their special place. So it was especially sweet for me to be able to visit there in 1992. I still keep the memory of that day close to my heart. Posted: 08/03/2008 01:15 by Karen Larson |

 Mumbles, the Pier 1898 (ref: 40925) |
The Pier! A memory of Mumbles, West Glamorgan I have many happy memories of Mumbles Pier from the 1950s onwards. It was a place of Penny Slot Machines and there were lots of opportunities to spend your pocket money and have fun! I can remember the Laughing Policeman exhibit - a penny in the slot started a unusual and rather scary model of a Policeman, complete with helmet, swaying from side to side and laughing. There was also the Haunted House where a further penny opened up coffins, cupboards with skeletons and all sorts of ghosts emerging from the spooky house! There was even the naughty machines where we turned handles and which showed What The Butler Saw ... where a further few old pennies were used up! Innocent pleasures, but a real treat ! A bag of chips (in newspaper of course), the bracing sea air and the lengthy walk back along the seawall towards Norton made the day complete . This postcard is from an earlier age than I remember, but I am sure it was even then a place of entertainment ! Last edited: 29/02/2008 09:15 by Gaynor Wingham |
