Reading our Fifty Years Ago column two weeks ago brought back memories for one Tenby resident.
For Mrs. Pam Harries, of 12 The Mauldins, was one of three waitresses who had gone on the cliff walk, on Good Friday 1953, which had almost ended with fatal results, when two of them slipped on the face of a 200-foot slope between Tenby and Waterwynch.
They rolled and somersaulted down and one of them came to rest within a yard of a sheer drop of 150 feet. She and her companion were then rescued by Tenby Coastguard after a dangerous operation lasting nearly two hours.
"We were all working at the Peerless Hotel at the time and on that particular day decided to go for a walk," Mrs. Harries explained.
"The two that fell were a girl called Mary and my cousin, Margaret," she continued.
"I could see they were in difficulty so went to get help.
"We were all about 16 and were down here working for the summer from Blackwood.
"My mother and aunt both heard about it on the radio the next day and I remember Mrs. Wright, who owned the Peerless Hotel at the time taking us home, but it really doesn't seem like 50 years ago," she added.
