Can Anyone Help
My partner was a regular visitor to Talacre in his youth, we came back with our children who have never been this year. My partner has a vague recollectoin of a bunker being on the beach where himself and his friends used to camp, so as we were there he wanted to show the children where he'd misspent his youth but we can't find the bunker and can't find any info about it, can anyone help? Many thanks.

Mum and Dad bought a caravan in 1960, after we had stayed in an assortment of bungalows in Tyn-y-Morfa on the Warren during the 1950s (where the original bakehouse was by the way). Point of Ayr Caravan Park was 'Taylor's field, with 6 caravans, ours was one of the 6 and we knew Talbot and June Taylor very well. We got ...see more

Cherished Times In Talacre
We stayed in a chalet near the tuck shop behind the dunes. Me, my brothers and sisters. I recall one year we were sitting on the roof of the chalet and some Navy fighter planes flew just over our heads nearly knocking us off. We spent hours in the dunes searching for spent bullet shells and struggling back up the lane to the chalet with a big 20 gallon drum of water from the tap. The three wheel bikes ...see more
