More about this scene

The castle was constructed by the Welsh in a loop of the river as a 'new castle' in 1240. In 1287 a siege engine was dragged by 40 oxen to Newcastle Emlyn from Dryslwyn, where it was joined by a large Norman army to quell a rebellion by the Welsh. We do not know what damage it did, but it was not responsible for the present state of the building, which was rebuilt as a mansion in Tudor times.

Memories
I remember a holiday here when I was just four years of age - some 60 years ago- and being taken into the hills for trout fishing ..... we stayed at The Emlyn Arms Hotel........ is the hotel renamed as I should like to revisit.

Lived Here When I Was Young

I'm writing this on behalf of my mum who lived near here when she was young. Her grandfather owned a bakery / tea room at the top of that hill just over the bridge. The family then moved away to Caerau near Maesteg. I know she still wonders if she has got any family left in Newcastle Emlyn as she remembers she had other family there when they left.

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
