Our final history event under the Enhancing Pembrokeshire Grant took place on Saturday 19th October. We were proud to display the work of Cosheston School, where pupils undertook an art project facilitated by local artist Fran Evans, representing the estuary and the shipbuilding which took place in the 19th century at Cantons Yard (Bank Farm) and The Chemicals (Shipwrights). Everyone was invited to take part in an art afternoon creating a paper tile montage using old photographs and maps and of course enjoy a cup of take and delicious Welsh cakes! These “tiles” will be collated together to create a historical banner of the village. Thanks to Jane Mason and Angela Lowder who organised the day and to many others who helped. This project is the end of two years of hard work by the Cosheston History Group Committee and we hope to continue our work to provide our local background to the village and sense of place for residents in the future.
