Our Favourites II
Below are our favourite photographs, out
of the hundreds that we have seen of Rhiw and its people.

They are in no particular order.
"Bryn Awel Wedding"
This must be one of the oldest
wedding photograph that we have, the poverty that people endured then is
so evident. |
"Cadlan"
Evan must have been home on leave,
and giving his family a hand on the farm. |
"Geese"
They used to walk geese to market. |
"Milking"
We haven't got a clue who they are,
but it's such a happy photo. |
"Father and Son"
Brilliantly natural pose, William
Cadlan and his young Son. |
"Llanfaelrhys"
Lena and her sister Lizzie, on their
way home from church, fantastic photograph from the 1920's. And Lena stayed
faithful to the church at Llanfaelrhys to her dying day. |
"The Well"
Wells were the life blood of any
village, something that we have now forgotten. |
"Wrasse fishing"
Wrasse and Rabbits was the staple
diet in Rhiw and Llyn, and many families had nothing else to eat. |
"The Group"
We've spent a long time looking at
this image, just can't think what was going through their minds,
brilliant!!! |
"Dora Eifion"
We have spent twenty eight years living in her house, I wonder if
she would have approved? |
"Proud Mum"
We love this one, she is so proud of
her little child. |
I would like once again to thank everyone
for these unbelievable images,
