Before proceeding to view these pages of Ilkeston Cam On Holiday in Pembrokeshire you may like to see some images from previous years which are accessible from the Specials Index. |
 Our wanderings on the cliff tops around Tenby that had let us see all four of its beaches had also taken us along many of the town's narrow cobbled streets that lie within the mediaeval walls. One such street at the side of Tenby Bookshop on St Julian's Street is Cob Lane. |
 Almost directly opposite Cob Lane, another alley in front of the Lifeboat Tavern leads to the Caldey Island shop and the famous Tudor Merchants House. (See here for images from 2002). The image here though also shows an interesting contrast of pillar boxes with a modern design on the right and a taller and more ornate example on the left. |
  Both boxes are still in use and a plaque on
the wall above the older box reads:"Post Brenhinol Royal Mail. This Victorian Pillar Box is dedicated to the memory of Mr. H. H. B. Lee Last Head Postmaster of Tenby 1959 - 1964, Mayor of Tenby 1971 - 1972 and local historian. Dedicated 4 May 1990". |
 During the summer months when the streets within the town walls are closed to vehicular traffic for much of the day, many of the shops, cafés, restaurants and public houses that line the streets overspill onto the pavements. The Buccaneer Inn is just one example. |
 But our objective was the building on the left painted green. It was here that we enjoyed our morning coffee (more than once during our holiday). You can always tell a good establishment by the number of local residents that frequent it so this one comes highly recommended. And, not that I'm a snob or anything, but where else would you expect to find us but "The Upper Crust"? |
 Suitably refreshed and with the weather showing a marked sign of improvement, we began to make our way back to the car along another of those cobbled streets towards the town walls. The town walls were built by the Pembrokeshire Earls in 1264 to fortify the town from Welsh rebellion. This opening at the end of the street, is known as Five Arches - a name also used by the tavern on the right. |
 Oh and those vehicular restrictions obviously don't apply to this horse and carriage that transports visitors and holidaymakers on a sightseeing tour of the town. |
 We had already purchased something for our picnic lunch but as we passed St John's United Reformed and Methodist Church, the temptation of Welsh Cakes hot off the griddle was too great to resist. |
