I seem to remember it's possible to access Ogof Cythreuliaid from Angel cove at certain low-tide states.

The area looks rather bare - no trees. There are several in the churchyard now, and there is no civic cemetery! When did that come into being?
I wonder Dave whether you would also post this pic onto the thread "Local church and religious news" so that a direct comparison can be made. Thanks.

I understand from the cemeteries department at CCBC that the cemetery opened in September 1903, though the chapel wasn't built until some years afterwards.

I've always wondered about that card, Jack.  I have it, and to me it seems as though it's a very early form of 'photoshopping'.  The stage and performers' perspective seem to be slightly 'off'.

Yes I see what you mean, I'd not really noticed before.  Do you think the stage was ever at this site?  Where is Faulke's Cave - has it been built on now?

The scene dates from c1910. I think it's real and the slightly odd effect comes from the colourisation process. This site is now the entrance drive to Ardwy Orme.
