message: What of that?  What about the rumour that it was so incompetently designed that it flooded the town and was a disaster?  Fiddle Faddle 08:13, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Inner Harbour? 

message: Bob Vowell's yard and Bill Partington's were said to have built or maintained MTBs (etc) during WW2.  The harbour doesn't look like a useful MTB or RAF Rescue base since its mouth all but dried at low tide.  Fiddle Faddle 08:13, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

message: It has one now, but there was a try at one in the outer harbour during the 1960s.  Needs work really.  Fiddle Faddle 08:13, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

message: On the seaward side, past Gimlet Rock, there was an old wooden jetty for the loading of stone, potentially quarried from Gimlet Rock itself.  Does anyone have the history of this? Fiddle Faddle 08:13, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: The Old Jetty

message: Pwllheli still has a large number of chapels some of them in disrepair and some restored. 
Some reference to the enormous chapel-building efforts of the 19th cent. might be relevant
Pwllheli has been a chartered town for a very long time. 
Some indication of what people lived on and how the town survived for so long might be in order. 
Town Hall Cinema which also served as a concert hall was (locally) important for the arts in the first half of the 20th cent. 
After burning Penrhos Saunders Lewis et al. gave themselves up at Pwllheli Police Station. Augusta2 22:40, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

replies: text:  Still no improvement on the chapels front. St Peter's Church now has its own website. See http://stpeterspwllheli.com/history-and-the-building/ The current Church in Wales church was started in 1886 apparently. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 23:51, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

message: a large steel tripod structure out in the bay between Pwllheli and Abersoch.  Definitely there in the 1960s because I sailed round it.  Then it was demolished.  I can't find it with Google.  I have no pictures.  Any ideas?  Fiddle Faddle (talk) 09:32, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Target 

message: I consider this section of the article to be lacking encyclopedic content: 
Pwllheli, the main town on the Lleyn Peninsula is well equipped with all manner of services and shops. Since it is the terminus of the present railway to the area and since a market is held every Wednesday, the town is a gathering point for the population of the whole peninsula.
Maybe it could be rewritten so that it has content. Otherwise it should be deleted. Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 23:25, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

message: The Welsh Biography Online mentions 115 influential people with connections to Pwllheli. Perhaps somebody would like to see which of these names might be usefully added to the Pwllheli article. Although the biography is slowly being updated it only claims completeness up to 1971. A little project for the winter months, perhaps? Everybody got to be somewhere! (talk) 23:46, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I would like to add a list of notable people who have or have had connections with Pwllheli. 
One thinks, for example of Billy Butlin, who had a house near Chwilog. 
Of interest is the prolific Dutch writer Arthur van Schendel, who records that in 1903 he befriended an African American, a Dane and a monoglot Welsh speaker at Pwllheli. The three men were working as fishermen at Pwllheli and a photograph of the three still exists in Dutch archives. Maatstaf, Jaargang 24
