Cymdeithas Aberaeron Society

Local boy Henry ‘Buns’ Jones will be the next speaker in the series of winter talks at Tabernacl vestry.

Born and brought up in Brynolwen, Aberaeron, Henry gained the nickname Buns when his father ran the village bakery in Aberarth.

He was educated at Aberaeron primary and county schools, then after national service and various jobs in the ‘university of life’ he studied English at Swansea University where he also did teacher training.

He went on to teach in St Davids and Tregaron.

Henry will speak in Welsh, with simultaneous translation, on the subject ‘Siopau rwy’n cofio’ (Shops I remember), a potted history of the shops and the characters who ran them, from his boyhood onwards.

All are welcome at Tabernacl vestry on Tuesday, 17 November, at 7.30pm to hear what will no doubt be an interesting and humorous insight into our past.
