Bosherton Tea Gardens
This week, Saturday's Flashback features a classic old tea room, known in 1955 as "Bosherton Tea Gardens", near Pembroke in Wales. Although the name has sadly changed to "Ye Olde Worlde Cafe" the photo below shows that it looks much the same in 2012. The business is still owned by the same family. Wall's Ice Cream remains for sale and even now you still ring the door bell for service! If their Egg On Toast, Welsh Cakes and Pot of Tea are anything to go by, I'm not surprised this fine old tea room is still open and thriving.
I found this posting on the internet :
"I am the lady at the door with my husband Don Weston. The date is about 1959 because that is the year we had electricity in the village and started to sell ice cream. Hence the Walls sign. My parents Mr and Mrs Caesar Evans started the tearooms here in 1922 and after my mother died in 1952 my husband and I ran this little business together very happily for fifty two years until his sudden death three years ago. But I have managed to keep the business going with the help of many good friends. I am now nearly eighty five and affectionately known by many customers as Auntie Vi."
