Nefyn from the Air 1930's


Nefyn aerial view taken in the 1930's near the top of Screw Road (right side center). There are no houses behind Cliff Castle, and very few along the cliffs. There is no sign of Glan-y-Pwll, Tai Newyddion, or the Prisoner of War (POW) camp along the Morfa Nefyn road (upper left corner).

I have no idea how Jones the Chemist arranged to have this photo taken.

Glynllifon Stores, High Street with the butcher's on the left and the grocer's on the right. The grocer's later became Glyn Cafe (Cafe Pyrs). The house on the left eventually became a greengrocer's owned by Griffith Griffiths (Giddy Gids). A new house built at the wall on the extreme left later became a Fish and Chip shop owned by Thomas Jones. Shop Glanrafon across the street became a draper's owned by Morris Jones.
