Hi Philmick.
Just to set the record straight, Madge was my Mam and we lived in 17 Cwm Place, a first floor flat. Father was John Cox, originally from Penrhyn Bay and of an Irish family. Madge's maiden name was Stallard and her Mother, my Nain, was Rose Stallard, nee Jones who lived in Back Madoc Street when the family moved from Welshpool in 1875. There are still many Stallards/Joneses in Llandudno - a fair old tribe.
In the flat below us (18) when we moved there in 1949, was elderly Mrs Williams and her daughter Lusitania May, a very tormented young woman violently mentally ill. Later, Alun Yr Ogo and his wife Megan moved there - smashing people. They had a daughter Miriam, who I remember as a very pretty young lady. It was she who posted the photo on here.
Lily Owen lived three houses up from us and she had brothers Ernie, George and David. David later started a very successful small Smithy business in Builder Street which expanded and relocated to Llandudno Junction. Ernie, although a little older, was a good mate but he suffered from eplilepsy. George, the middle brother was a character: always friendly and good natured, he could also be quite funny. He was too, a skating whiz, leading 'whip' and the roller hockey at the skating rink. I think Mam and Lily probably worked in the same place, either Welcoast Ice Cream or the old isolation hospital down Cwm Road.
Heddwch. Mike
