View 4 is not a cobbled road it is actually the pathway leading from the lychgate to the main door of Holy Trinity Church. The cobbles are still there although, sadly, they are now cemented in. The stones would probably have come from Aberaeron beach.

Photo 1: View from Lookout behind Hospital, probably about late 1940's. The big black block at centre are probably the old trees in the Square Field before they were chopped down.
Photo 2: The woman in the photo has just passed the old Celtic Fish and Chip Shop, and missed out on the best meal in the country at the time(1940s-50s) run by Seymour Evans and Sons.
Photo 5: I was 5 when this photo was taken, note no houses to West of Wellington Street, No Colditz, the muddy goalmouths in the Square Field are as I remember them. Would love to see an updated view to compare the changes. And what is the obsession of taking photos when the tide is out?
