New buildings and pub[edit]
(copied from User talk:Tony Holkham)
I have been living in Cwmcych for some 16 months now. The old Fox and Hounds pub has become a private residence. As for the matter of new properties built in the 1970s, I see no signs. Many properties have been modified over the past decades, but I have not seen any completely new builds.
On the topic of the Glaspant Diary 1896, I am not aware of an online rendition. Personally, I have a print copy obtained through Amazon.

- I understand. The source may be wrong, of course, but Dyfed Arch Soc is usually pretty accurate. Perhaps they see Cwmcych as a bigger area than the actual hamlet. Anyway, it's worth checking out and if DAS is wrong, then they'd probably want to amend their page.
- The Glaspant Diary I tracked down on Amazon. If you have a copy, can you quote the relevant page number(s) and I will add it to the article?
- Glad you're on WP - it desperately needs new editors, especially for Wales. I have been concentrating on Pembrokeshire for some time, and there's loads more to do. Let me know if you need any help. Best wishes (from Blaenffos) ... Tony Holkham (Talk) 22:54, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks Tony. I was pleased to see that you started an article about Cwmcych, given its size. There is history here, but little seems to have been captured in written words. I will see what I can pull out of the Glaspant Diary in due course. You may well be right about the area covered in the DAS source, nevertheless all the buildings here and in the nearby hamlets appear to have history.

- Not everyone agrees, but I see WP principally as a repository for all the history and geography that is scattered online, especially in old newspapers and out-of-print books. See List of places in Pembrokeshire for the places yet to have articles. As for closed pubs, well... there were five in Blaenffos once. If you have a date for the Fox & Hounds closure, or better still a newspaper article, that would be useful. Tony Holkham (Talk) 23:33, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
