Pupils from Golden Grove Gelli Aur have been learning about the Victorians. Through their own investigation they discovered the story of Anne David, a 13 year-old girl who worked locally in a coal mine. She dragged wagons of coal in a 12″ underground space, never went to school and never had a holiday. In contrast, Edwina Price, a doctor’s wife, had servants and took picnics in Tenby where ‘the air was most exhilarating’.

Inspired by Edith Morgan’s daily walk to the bakehouse, pupils from Narberth C.P. School made bread this morning and took it to ‘Pizza Pete’ to bake in his wood fired oven! Many thanks to them, Peter & PLANED, Arwain Sir Benfro 2020 & Heritage Lottery Fund for their support. #WOWW #lotterysupported
Quote of the day: ‘Can we come to the museum every week’?

Last week we had the privilege of talking to 97 year old Edith Morgan about her life and her memories of her mother and grandmother.
One question we asked was ‘how do you think the lives of women have changed during your lifetime’? She replied: ‘Freedom…much more freedom; and after the war…it was good to get back on an even keel…and I was free…The woman in my mother’s day wasn’t free to go and do things that she liked. But I was.’
A huge thank you to Arwain Sir Benfro, PLANED and the Heritage Lottery fund for the opportunity to capture these valuable insights into the lives of Welsh women for future generations. #WOWW
