Memories of The Swan Hotel c1965, Wadebridge
Samuel Treglown
Samuel Treglown worked as landlord at the Swan Hotel during the 1950s. He is an ancestor of mine I am currently researching. His photo has appeared in Wadebridge Memories by Peter Tutthill, but with no date. He also was a great sportsman and boxer. Would love info or photos. He has a son called John who has an interest in wrestling and rugby.
Swan Folk Club
I sang many times in the Swan Folk Club and met my first wife there, Clare Hawken. We married and started our married life living in a caravan owned by Mervyn & Jean Vincent in St Issey before moving to Malta as I was in the RAF.

Dancing in Molesworth Street
This view of children in Molesworth Street is fascinating - more than 100 years later our dance group entertained children and holidaymakers at the same spot.
Our "Heather and Gorse Clog Dancers" joined up with the "Saffron Maids", and "Black Bess Border Morris" plus the "Ilfracombe Red Petticoats" to provide street entertainment as part of the Wadebridge Folk Festival. We danced near the Swan Inn and later at the Sir John Betjeman Centre and the Piazza - the sun shone all day long and we were surrounded by happy crowds of onlookers.
Wadebridge is a lovely venue for a folk festival.
