I'd always believed that too until the other facts came to light. Just goes to show how easy it is for a falsehood to become an accepted fact!

Ross-on-Sea pier was 500ft longer than the 1000ft Isle of Man Douglas pier

So does that mean that two thirds of the Rhos on Sea pier came from the Isle of Man? where did the other third come from then?   :laugh:

The old Flair of Rhos On Sea shop (on the corner opposite Fortes) is nearly ready to reopen at the Sunset Club surf shop:

Went through Rhos earlier and saw that they are dumping many tons of sand upon the beach by the breakwater again - it seems to be a yearly occurrence and the level of the beach just keeps on rising...

I can see two vehicles on the sand and they appear to be leveling the sand out. Where has the sand come from I wonder ?{}? ?{}?     perhaps it's West Shore's sand?

The "new sandy beach" at Rhos was packed with people today making the most of the afternoon sunshine.

Whilst walking by Aberhod earlier, I noticed that another load of flowerbeds had been grassed over by CCBC. They really seemed determined to cut back on anything that might attract people to the area.   $angry$

Just found this old picture of flooding in Rhos-on-Sea by the Cayley. Not sure about the year it was taken.

Taken when they began building the Rhos-on-Sea breakwater

This was quite a sight in it's day. Dropping off the stones on the beach.

This picture was taken by my Dad. It's a sight rarely seen in Rhos-on-Sea. As for the year it was taken. Well, it was a new car, so whatever year registrations ended in Y, that was the year.

Try as I may, I can't find out which of my family members are in this wonderful car. Great car in the background too. The shape of the lampost looks great. No shelters on the prom there these days.
