An elderly couple originally from St. Clears but now based in Spain made a special visit to see a photographic exhibition documenting St. Clears and the surrounding villages over the last 100 years. Irfon and Glenys Walters now in their eighties drove more than 1,000 miles one way to visit friends and view the exhibition. Irfon has been keeping in touch with life in St. Clears through the community website www.stclearstimes.com The couple identified a number of relatives in the photographs and were able to pass on stories of the village when they were young. Irfon offered a £20 prize for anyone who could identify all of the men in a photograph of a farmer’s outing to a factory in Bristol. His father was amongst the men and Irfon would love to know all the names. He said that St. Clears was very fortunate to have such a rich photographic legacy for future generations to share and commended the curator Mrs. Stella for all the hard work that has gone into preserving the photographs, film and historic documents. The photographs are on display at The Mezzanine on Bridge Street, St. Clears. Local historian Alan Evans presented Mr. And Mrs. Walters with a book about the village of St. Clears and copies of the St. Clears Times magazines.
