EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, an elderly cockle woman from the coastal village of Llangwm takes a moment of respite outside St Mary's Church in Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, South Wales. Dressed in traditional Edwardian attire, complete with a brimmed hat, scarf, and layered skirt, she carries the weight of her wares on her back, preparing for the journey to the Portfield area of the town. Llangwm cockle women were renowned for their itinerant trade, traveling to markets and fairs as far afield as Carmarthen to sell their freshly harvested cockles. This photograph captures the historical significance of their occupation, which played a vital role in the local economy and community. The woman's worn expression and the creases in her clothing speak to the hardships and long hours endured in her line of work. Yet, her determined posture and the sense of purpose in her gaze suggest that she is not only a survivor but also a proud representative of her heritage. The church wall and railings serve as a backdrop to this poignant scene, offering a glimpse into the past and the rich history of this Welsh village. The image transports us back to a time when life was simpler, and the rhythms of the natural world shaped the daily lives of its people. This photograph, taken in 1905, is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Llangwm cockle women and their enduring connection to the land and the sea. It is a snapshot of a bygone era, a reminder of the importance of preserving our cultural heritage and the stories it holds.
