More about this scene

By the 1960s, more and more holiday visitors were arriving by car as well as by rail. There are quite a number of cars parked in the narrow street in front of Harry and Alfred Kilminsters automobile engineering works (right), which specialized in car electrical repairs. The ice cream shop on the corner is also stocked with plastic beach balls and even a paddling pool.

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

My late husband was the professional at Royal St Davids for many years and the only golfer so far to have been both Welsh Amateur Champion and Welsh Professional Champion twice. We lived at 'Plas Owain' which is the house just above the Golf Links on the curve of the road up the hill. It was built in 1907.
