After being delayed due to the Covid pandemic and lockdown, popular Tenby bookshop owner Albie Smosarski of Cofion Books, Bridge Street, Tenby is pleased to say that the 2021 edition of the ‘Tenby Vintage Memories’ calendar is now available.

Albie is also of course a well known postcard dealer and the calendar features old vintage postcard scenes of Tenby, some over 100 years old from the Edwardian era.

Albie is of course well known for writing the popular ‘Cofion Corner’ feature in the Tenby Times for many years which also featured vintage and historic iconic images of Tenby, and he said this week that he was, despite the ‘difficulties’ posed by lockdown: “delighted to be able to bring the 2021 calendar to market after last year’s inaugural edition sold out after being so well received.”

The A4 full colour calendar, priced at £6.99 contains 12 new photos from last year and is already proving very popular with locals and visitors. Albie went on to say that ‘due to the pandemic a smaller print run has been ordered’ and he encouraged everyone to buy early to avoid disappointment.

They can be bought from Albie at Cofion Books, (although to comply with Covid guidelines, he is currently opening every other day).

They are also for sale at Tenby Post Office and Stores, (opposite Five Arches), Charlton Cards (High Street, next to Savers), West Cards, (next to Barclays Bank), The Welsh Gift Shop, (next to Tenby RFC clubhouse), and from Vincent Davies in Haverfordwest

All enquiries, including for mail order can be made to Albie at [email protected] , or via Cofion Books’ new Facebook page.
