Tenby and Saundersfoot Photographic Memories
The mother and child appear to have been dressed and posed especially for the photograph. In late Victorian and early Edwardian times, this part of the village was regarded as a select residential area. The turning to the right off St Bride's Hill leads down to the Glen. The fields have now been more fully developed with residential property.

It passed through a variety of hands and was last occupied in 1824, when it was converted to tenements.
