Moelfre, Anglesey

Welcome to my Moelfre photo gallery pages. I have more photos of Moelfre and elsewhere in Anglesey on my Panoramio page www.panoramio.com/user/brian (opens in a new window).
News: You can see images of Moelfre, other areas in Anglesey and right across the UK on Google Street View. The new images went live on 12th March 2010. You can also view my Panoramio images on Google, zooming and panning in exactly the same way as Street View.

My Interest in Moelfre
My link with Moelfre goes back many years. With other connections nearby, my grandparents moved to the village in the early 1960s. As they settled into their new life in Moelfre my grandfather was able to enjoy his retirement and my grandmother had several jobs including helping out at the old general store at the start of the lane to Lligwy. The store has long since disappeared. They died in the 1970s and are buried at Llanallgo Parish Church. My first Christmas was spent just outside the village and, as a child in the 1960s and 1970s, I can remember my family going to stay with them regularly at different times of the year, so most of my early memories of holidays and my grandparents are of time spent in Moelfre.
