My father used to take us to Hafoty every year to see the gardens. The house was on one side of the Caernarfon to Beddgelert Road and the gardens were opposite. The Major would often be in the gardens but I only remember an elderly man. The gardens were well known as he had a small river and waterfall running through in which were elvers that came all the way from the Sargasso Sea every year. Sadly the gardens have deteriorated badly now.

Thank you Gwyneth. I go to Caernarfon quite a lot, I will go to Hafoty and have a look. I still can't find his obit I'm sure he must have had one.
Kind regards
Heather ;)
