Nostalgic memories of St Fagans's local history

Share your own memories of St Fagans and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

My grandparents and great-uncle and aunt lived and worked at Parc-y-Felin farm in the 1930s. My mother and her sister went St Fagans school. Although the farm was demolished in the early 1960s the farm cottage still survives where my great-uncle used to live. It was a milk producing farm, the dairy was at the rear of the farm which I think was powered by a water wheel, the water was supplied by the River Ely by a water channel which my mother called the "race".
