Summary

Description
English: The old lifeboat station. Situated at the bottom of Y Cwm at the west end of Parrog. The plaque to the left of the doors read RNLBI, nowadays abbreviated RNLI, ( 531929 ) and the one to the right reads 1884 ( 531933). Apparently it was built for the Newport lifeboat "Clevedon" but was abandoned in 1895 due to difficulty launching at certain states of the tide and negotiating the sand bar across the river mouth. I find it hard to believe that local people would not have foreseen this problem.
