Traffic Jams at Aberdaron
By F. H. May

Unloading
at Bardsey A stunning photograph of a two masted
topsail schooner unloading at the "Cafn" at Bardsey. The
little steamer in the distance seems to suggest that it was taken circa
1890, and later beautifully hand coloured. The amount of activity shows
what an important day it was when the ships called with essential
supplies. Brilliant. ~~~~~~~~ 
Thrashing
Day
| Many years ago, the thrasher would move from
farm to farm, and everyone would give a hand, even the children
would stay away form school, so it was an especially great day
for them. The farmers wives would all get together as well, and
a special pudding was made called "Pwdin Dyrnu" which
was like a Christmas pudding boiled in muslin cloth. This very
old photograph was taken on a Llangwnadl farm. Notice the two
wheel barrows, one with coal for the traction engine, and the
other with a bag of corn. |
