Abersoch and Portmeirion - Whit Week 1951


As a boy, William Healey would visit Abersoch from Lancashire with his parents and 2 brothers for holidays full of sun, sand and sea. He returns now with his 3 daughters who enjoy the same seaside environment. They take a trip to Portmeirion, the Italianate village built by architect Clough Williams-Ellis from which charabancs are barred and the buildings are a world away from the Abersoch beach huts. As his father Percy would do, William records the holiday on film.
