Saw this photo from 1972 over on Flickr, of the Coach park in Llandudno back then:

That's a good find Dave.  

Just been trying to fathom out where it was taken. It looks to me as if it was taken near the old Crosville depot on Mostyn Broadway. I remember those allotments across the road.

Double-decker outside the Kings Arms in Mostyn Street.

The advert on the side of the bus always makes me chuckle....Invicta A front briefs for Men and Boys

I've worn Y front's before, but never heard of A front's.  L0L

Just been trying to fathom out where it was taken. It looks to me as if it was taken near the old Crosville depot on Mostyn Broadway. I remember those allotments across the road.

I was thinking it was taken from the Prom, looking down that unpaved road towards the LSP garage on the left, and the allotments where Mostyn Champneys is now across the road.
