Photos by the late Ronnie Williams

Published on Friday, 13 March 2009

Many Hayle residents will probably remember the late Ronnie Williams who was hardly ever without his camera. His wife, Eileen, has very kindly donated to the Hayle Archive 6 photo albums each containing up to 100 4x6 photos in each album. Many of the photos have the date and time they were taken but some, containing pictures of locals, do not have the names.

At the time of writing this, Hayle Archive has recently heard that funding for the database has been approved so, hopefully, you will not have to wait much longer for the Archive to become operational. Meanwhile, we hope these will whet your appetite and perhaps you may have some photos which you would care to donate or loan to the Archive. Ronnie Williams' photos were taken during the 1970s and 80s and, although that is relatively recent, they provide a priceless look at Hayle as it was in those days. Take a nostalgic look at those below.
