Ein Hanes is a community project in former shop premises (remembered by many as Carmens) on Fishguard Square which houses an extensive collection of historical artefacts, documents, and photographs.
Visitors are welcome to browse; knowledgeable volunteers are able to assist with questions and enquiries, and even to share memories.
All posts in this topic area relate to material which is held at Ein Hanes and which can be viewed when visiting. Ein Hanes aims to open weekly from March to October, 10.30 to 3.30, except for Sunday and Monday.
