The problem by the college is a water main. There has been a dispute between the Council and Welsh Water as to who should repair it - but Welsh Water have accepted responsibility.

Massive tailback at the roadworks traffic lights yesterday p.m just before the Ship.

Don't see Everything to do with Rhos coming up very often.   So---Anyone remember "Goosey" who used to hang around the Pyes Coaches site where Fortes now trade? Step forward "White Rabbit" maybe. But it was many years ago. White Rabbit would have been a very,very young girl. "Goosey" was a goose .probably looked after in a fashion by Pyes drivers.

   HE HAD A HABIT OF hopping on the platform   at the rear of passing trams. I never found out where he got off Mike

After all of this rain we had a quick walk near the Rugby club, a lot of water!

Ormegolf - only just seen your post about Goosey!  I don't remember Goosey but do remember Pyes Coaches being where Fortes is now.  Spent a lot of my youth at the stables behinde there!!

We lads spent a lot of time behind Pyes, up the alley. In the dark. Back of the Rhos abbey. Soda cyphons, fancy things that but bubbles into water. Into a sack, up to Westwells off licence, 2/6 pence a time refund. Illegal of course. I'm not proud of it, but I don't feel a lot of shame either. Mike

Nearly got mown down a few times this a.m. on our regular walk on Rhos prom. The cycle track is now so far gone that no one can see where it starts and ends. No wonder the cyclists are belting along on the footway.

Building work is well underway on Aberhod, which dates back to 1783, to convert the former restaurant into residential accommodation.

    I grew up within yards of this building. Long before the theatre was built. We all knew that the building was there, but no one that I knew had ever set eyes on it. At the front, where DaveRs photo shows, had a very high, very thick hedge which obscured the slightest view. At the back (Everard Road) was a very high fence which did the same job.   You can imagine what  youngsters  fertile imaginations guessed went on inside.  Everything from a nest of German spies to a secret supply of bananas being hoarded.  I never really saw a banana until I was 14, at the end of the war.   Mike

I remember when it was eventually sold (1970s or early 80s), I went to the Auction of the contents with my Parents. I think the high hedge was still there then. I remember lots of rooms, piled high with various bits and pieces.

Although not a native of the town, I lived on the Cayley Bank for a couple of years in the mid 1970's.  Fantastic view but a mite chilly in the Winter with the North and East winds and no central heating or double glazing.   ZXZ

Probably, the 4 reception and 5 bedrooms were a lot to keep warm!   ;D

Looking through my window now I can see a large boat just off Rhos point.  It's an unusual thing with a large crane on the stern.
Anyone know that it is doing there?
