Right - the road went down the side of the Cae Mor and the Theatre but disappeared when the cafe extension was put on the Venue Cymru complex.  I suppose it is now the Cae Mor car park!!

There still is a Warehouse Street on the left as you go down Jubilee Street.

I think it was called Railway Street - but then I'm normally wrong!    :P

I'm just quoting from my book, 'Streets of Llandudno' Published by 'Llandudno Historical Society' bought at a car boot sale earlier this year  D) handy for quiz questions,  if it's right! L0L

When I did some family history research a few years ago, I found two lines of my family tree living in that road during the late 1800's and I seem to remember noticing it was called Jubilee Terrace(s).

Maybe someone who has simple access the census returns can confirm whether or not I was dreaming.

Mind you I suppose Jubilee Terrace(s) could have been somewhere else altogther in Llandudno !!

Yes that is the answer I was expecting--- got the same book! A good little book as you say.

I've just realised that all of these 'non local' questions in the non local section are in fact local  L0L
