Dyfed memories
Where I Grew up
Well, I grew up in Havens Head, it's a lovely quiet place, there is loads of wildlife like foxes and squirrels, badgers loads of wild birds, and there is a lovely footpath where you can look over the lake and that leads to the docks and the marina.
School Swimming Sports
I used to live at No 6 Concrete Houses just over at the end of the wrath. I lived there for around 7 years from when I was born in 1969. It used to cost 2p to get in but sometimes we used to climb over the wall. I did swim in the pool during the summer sports. Steven Moxi and Jason Thomas were my friends from the pill.
GELLYSWICK BEACH
I remember playing with my brothers and chucking the seaweed about on the beach.
SEA WALL
I'm not sure when, but my dad helped build the sea wall and a load of my family are from Hakin and Milford. Does anyone remember Rabiotti's Restaurant? It was my uncle's.
Post Office
The old post office in the picture once belonged to my family, as did the the farm that once stood to the left of the old post office. I spent the first 18 years of my life growing up in Marloes. It's a lovely place to visit as it's steeped in history, from Henry Tudor to WW2, also the heritage of the Kensington family and the Kensington estate of St Brides. Marloes is outlined with some of Wales's most beautiful coastlines, with world famous islands such as Skomer with its seals, choughs and puffins. And not forgeting Marloes sands where in the summer of 2011 a Hhollywood movie was filmed. (Its not the first time). Yours, L
The Abandoned Car.
This photograph shows my father's car reg EDE 3 at the traffic lights in Castle Square. He was William Gywther Thomas, Divisional Highways Surveyor. The reason the car looks as if it has been abandoned was that the traffic lights had failed and father was investigating the reason at the control box on the corner of the street to the left of the photograph out of shot. The police are there to direct the traffic which was not very taxing as you can see from the volume of traffic passing through the square.
W.D. Phillips And The Salutation
W.D. Phillips 1846-1927 owned and ran this hotel, he was my great-great-grandfather. One of my uncles and one of my aunts, I had six, were born in this building the latter around 1915. Whilst here WD wrote the book 'Old Haverfordwest'. I know the book was reprinted in 1924-25 when WD was a representative for the Pembroke County Guardian, I would love to own a copy of this book. My Aunt Nancy always related the tale of 'running at speed' through the upper floors of the Salutation, when she was a child. It was also known that WD was a Solicitor, did he run that business from the Salutation too? He did write from here and was in the employ of Sir William Davies as his confidential secretary, he was also the Illuminator for Lloyd George and reported 'local matters' to him. There is a certificate made out to WD confirming this fact. I wonder if that ever hung in the Salutation?
