In late 1900 / early 1901 Fanny, Gertie, Harry and Winnie moved to Bournemouth Villa ( later Ael-Y-Don and now flats ) in Langland Bay Road, which Harry had bought with some assistance from Fanny.

Whilst Harry continued to develop his building business Fanny established Bournemouth Villa as an upmarket Guest House, for which she kept this Visitors Book. Fanny ran the business, did all the shopping, the accounts etc and was assisted by Gertie who gave birth to 4 more children whilst at Bournemouth Villa.

Fanny was the mainstay running this business until she retired in September 1918 aged 66. This coincided with the family’s move to “ Northlea " 5, The Grove, Mumbles one of a number of houses built by Harry Beynon.

The final entry in the visitors book was on September 2nd 1918, as Fanny then retired aged 66. This coincided with the family’s move to “ Northlea " 5, The Grove, Mumbles one of a number of houses built by Harry Beynon. Fanny continued to live with Gertie and Harry until the latter died on 6 August 1952. She had spent the entire 53 years of their married life living with them.
