Guy Hughes Photograph Collection - Pwllheli ?
« on: Sunday 06 March 11 21:14 GMT (UK) »
Hello,

Does anyone know if these photographs are still accessible anywhere?

There used to be a website many years ( www.guyhughes.org.uk ) ago that housed these images. But i think it has long gone for years now.

any help would be great, as a big chunk of my family came from Pwllheli and we have a few photos that guy hughes took of them. I would love to know if he took anymore.

Thanks

I am sorry I dont know if these photographs are accessible but  I found this link when I went off for a search and wondered if it may give you another lead to try and track them down.  Granted it is from a few years ago but short of trying to seek out anything at the Gwynedd Archives it may be worth a look to see if the e mail address is still valid.

Hello Mair,

thanks for that, i have tried the email in that post just last week.

Unfortunatly the email bounced back. So that account must be inactive.

Thanks anyway. Hopefully i will be able to find her.

this was from the link above - this was my mothers (now deceased ) email so thats why you cant reach her

I have recently come into posession of about 10,000 photographic negatives
>(many of them glass) which were taken by my grandfather, Guy Hughes, a
>photographer from Pwllheli, Caernarvonshire. The date range is 1909 - 1942,
>subjects cover a wide range of weddings, May Queens as well as personal
>portraits and other items of local interest.
>
> Amongst them, there are 10 scenes from 'Madryn', which appears to be a
> communal type farm. If the lister who was recently enquiring about Madryn
> would like to contact me off list, I would be happy to make the images
> available to them.

Hi Sue

Guy was my Great Great Grandfather (so my mothers grandfather) and the photos belong to my mothers family (her father Neville) so she had them brought out here to Australia.

Hi Milesy, thanks for getting back about the photos of Guys,It was a shock to say the least as  Ethal(your Great grandmother)Eric (your Great uncle Iorarths Father) and Nevile your Grandfather all decided that they would put them in the archives in Caernarvonshire for the History of Wales.
I was in the Archives not so long ago and was puzzeld then about no photo History being available .When did they send them out Australia? .
