More about this scene
Picturesque Llansteffan, on a high bluff fronting the sea, was a favourite subject for the Romantic painters. It was built by the Normans in the 12th century to control the mouth of the River Towy. Various members of the de Camville family altered and enlarged the castle, and at one point it was owned by Jasper Tudor, nephew of Henry VII.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
Does anyone remember Coombe School? If you do can you leave a message on here. I think it is called Cheshire Homes for the Elderly. I was born in 1935 and am still trying to find things out about my past.
I was about 6 or 7 when I was first in Wales. I was put into a school in place called Llanabrie, it was called Coombe School and I think it was a ‘naughty boys’ school. It was a long time ago; I don’t think I was naughty, just not wanted. I think I was at this place till I was about 14. We used to walk to the beach, I remember it was shell beach. I was there in 1947 in that bad winter, it was so cold and all we had was shorts and a gaberdine mack. Will write more later.
