Summer Holidays At Tyn Y Morfa

A Memory of Tyn-y-Morfa.

In the early 60s we used to travel to Talacre for a fortnight holiday in a caravan. One year my parents didn't pre-book but we travelled from Liverpool on the off chance we would find a place. I remember my father driving us along the concrete block single track road from Talacre through to Tyn-y-Morfa stopping at various bungalows that we were told may be able to help. We eventually arrived at Mrs Mayne's bungalow opposite the shop near the corrugated green chapel mentioned in another post here. At a squeeze, she was able to accommodate our large family - parents, granny and seven children. It was a wonderful holiday, so much so we went there for many years and my parents became good friends with Mrs Mayne corresponding with her throughout the year.
The back gate opened onto a path which led to the beach - we were allowed the freedom to head off on our own under strict instructions from dad to play on the sand until he joined us, then we could go in the sea. We met many families who went every year just as we did. Happy days.
