St Clears Show 2009
A new book containing photographs of St. Clears over the last 100 years is planned for some time next year. The book will include photographs by all four St. Clears based photographers from 1909 to 2009. The photographers are Stanley Phillips, W. D. Evans, Sara Lynne and Alan Evans. The book will illustrate the way in which St. Clears has changed over the years and highlights the work of all four photographers in documenting life in the village. It promises to be a must for any coffee table.

Stanley's work is superb and features life as it was at the turn of the last century. W.D. Evans followed and we see the progress into colour photography. Sara Lynne was well known locally for her wedding photography but also photographed a number of Welsh celebrities including Ieuan Evans and Sir Geraint Evans. Alan Evans heralded the digital age and advances in technology which is demonstrated in much of his work. He has been largely responsible for preserving and presenting the photographs in the book.

The majority of the images have never been seen in one place and offers the opportunity to view a visual history timeline of a century of life in St Clears
