Photo of Solva, From The Gribbin c.1955

More about this scene

This photograph was taken at a time when Solva's harbour was reaching the end of its time as a working harbour - the quay with its array of small boats looks somewhat run down. Solva was to become a haven for pleasure boats, and many of its houses were to become smartened up as holiday cottages. It is a welcome stopping place on that much travelled trail, the Pembrokeshire Coastal Path. The Gribbin is a steep, rocky headland overlooking the harbour and the spectacular Pembrokeshire coast.

Interesting to see the photo entitled "Solva, Middle Hill". The village shown here is known as "Middle Mill" and the mill (on the River Solfach) is in the centre behind the bridge.
