I used to fish from the fishmeal wall when it was working, caught my first mullet there and lots of smelt to eat. When the tide was out I made a spear to fish in the stream that was left, and fish for flat fish to eat. I used to live at 93 Combes Drive... them where the days.
When we were down in Pembrokeshire we sometimes walked back from Hakin Primary School to Hazelbeach and Black Bridge was a landmark on the way. I remember the rotting hulks of the old barges in the Pill and the transformation of the tide, turning a muddy inlet into an attractive little valley. On the turn of the tide there was a flood from the culvert under Black Bridge as the waters behind flooded out towards the sea.
