Three Resilient Cockle Women of Pembrokeshire, South Wales: A Snapshot of Traditional Coastal Life This evocative photograph captures the essence of three determined women from the coastal village of Llangwm, in Pembrokeshire, South Wales, engaged in their age-old occupation of cockle gathering. Dressed in their traditional attire, complete with wide-brimmed hats and sturdy boots, they proudly display their baskets brimming with the day's harvest. The women of Llangwm have been walking their cockle wares to markets and fairs for generations, often traveling as far as Carmarthen to sell their goods. Their dedication to this labor-intensive trade is a testament to their strong work ethic and the importance of community and tradition in their lives. The conditions these women faced were challenging, as they would wade out into the shallow waters of the estuary, sometimes up to their knees, to gather the cockles. The long hours spent working in the muddy, cold waters required a great deal of fortitude and perseverance. Despite the hardships, the women of Llangwm took pride in their work and the role it played in their community. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of a bygone era, when the rhythms of rural life were dictated by the tides and the seasons. This image, taken from Mary Evans Prints Online, is a precious piece of historical documentation that showcases the resilience and determination of the women of Pembrokeshire and their contributions to the rich cultural heritage of South Wales.
