More about this scene

Morfa Nefyn, one mile from Nefyn town, has a fine sandy beach. The headland at Porthdinllaen offered a natural anchorage, sheltered from the prevailing south-west winds. This was the only good harbour on the west coast of Lleyn. It is strange to think that this quiet place was once an important centre for shipping—it even tried to compete with Holyhead as the Irish mail-packet port. With barely enough wind to keep under way, small craft lie just offshore.

Morfa Nefyn Post Office In The 60s And 70s

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.
