Nefyn Views In The 1910's


Thomas Williams (Tom Baker) outside his Alun House Bakery at the corner of Well Street and Wint in 1916. Shown are his daughters Annie and Jennie, and behind the horse (named George) are the bakery employees.

Thanks to Tom Williams (Twm Alun House) for the photograph. Tom was named after his grandfather. Tom's mother, Annie, and her family lived in Alun House until 1950, and then moved to a farm in Aberdaron. Tom now lives outside Plymouth in England.
