Llandudno Garage, Mostyn Street, Llandudno
« on: July 31, 2012, 09:20:22 am »
Hello

I have another relation who lived in Llandudno most of their life, but this one is not Human, this one of my old vehicles, this is my Ford E83W Pickup.

I know where the owner of the time, 60' sort of time, lives, and have taken the pickup back to see him, but I wondered if anyone had any pictures or information on the garage or pickup, maybe you remember seeing it driving around, maybe you worked at the garage, and remember the awfully cramped driving position...

I would love to hear any information you may have.

I have found some original sign writing on the trucks door, which I plan to keep, but the rest of the truck had lost its original paint, so I have re painted most of it.

This is the pickup in question...





Best Regards

Edwin

Nice. Do you happen to know the name of the Garage in Mostyn St, Edwin?

There was a Ford Dealership Garage in upper Mostyn St. Where the 147 Club is now, it was 'Kelly's Garage'   ^*^0

The only garage in Mostyn Street that I can remember was the one where the Club 147 is nowadays.   Can't remember the name of the garage but my cousin Doreen's husband Vic Evans worked there in the 1970's.
I parked my Ford Capri nearby C1973 and when I came back and put the car in gear, the gear stick came off in my hand.   Vic sorted it out in a minute or two.     :)

PS     Your memory is better than mine Quiggs.

Hello

I have made a blunder it is Court street I think, which is off Mostyn street towards the Great Orme end, I believe it is still a garage today as you go down the street it is at the bottom on the corner on the right hand side.  I did ask in the garage once but the person I asked just looked at me like someone silly, and shrugged his shoulders, I had hoped there was still hundreds of Ford spares in the back lol.

As far as I now it was known as Landudno Garage, but alas I never went there.

Sorry about my Blunder, :-(

Does Court Street make sense?

Best Regards

Edwin

Is that the garage that John Storer once owned?

It is at the rear of the Victoria Public House and Restaurant and is still a garage.

The pin in your link is nowhere near Court Street when I open the link, it should be the road between Club 147 & The Empire hotel.

Whatever a pin in the link is, it's still the same garage on both links.

It's a Streetview image of the garage, are you using a mobile device perhaps?

There was another garage, which became a record shop.  By the Conservative Club.  I think it was latterly Francis Garage but used to dispense petrol in long arms across the pavement.
