Llandudno's Passages

[Yorkie]

There was also another passage in Gloddaeth Avenue between 6th and 7th (or maybe 7th and 8th)houses down from Great Ormes Road, on the Oval side.   It was just where 2 new houses had been built.  No idea of the name but I remember it being discussed in Council about it being blocked up by a resident.   Part can still be seen on Google Satellite running behind some of the old houses.

[Trojan]

I knew I had a pic somewhere:

I've always wondered how Marble Arch came to be named. It's not made from marble, and is no-where near Hyde Park.

I don't know the answer to that one Trojan but the tunnel through the shop ( previously Lazar's } was once the entrance to farmland  belonging to St George's Hotel.

Does Rectory lane count as a passage?
Has Lloyd passage been mentioned?

[DaveR]

I believe Marble Arch was just a nickname that the council adopted.

Dwsi, where is Lloyd Passage? That's a new one on me.

[dwsi]

Lloyd Passage runs from St Mary's Rd to St David Rd, behind the lifeboat station

Primrose passage anyone?

[suepp]

from "Streets of Llandudno" Primrose passage is the service road behind Rosebery Avenue and Mostyn Avenue, Until 1910 its name was Back Rosebery Avenue. The name is the  family name of the Earls of Rosebury. The road was made up in 1920. No. 4 Mostyn Avenue (Formerly Hills) was known as Primrose House. This area was developed by the Craig - y - Don Land Company

Does Rectory lane count as a passage?
Has Lloyd passage been mentioned?

Rectory lane seemed to have once been called back Abbey Road (until 1910) and was bisected by the ornamental garden now occupied by nos 18-26 Abbey Road.
This seems strange as Abbey Road was then Tudno Street as far as Plas Gogarth.

[brumbob]

Do passages in Craig Y Don count?

Curzon Passage off Curzon Road
and there is a 'something' Grove Passage also off Curzon Road but I can't make out what it says.

Woodville Grove Passage

[suepp]

loving this thread!  and the fact they can be checked out on Google Earth. i'm trying to think of some obscure landmarks we can list in a future thread,

[DaveR]

There's also a Back Woodville Grove Passage, a spur that connects Woodville Grove Passage with Mostyn Avenue.

Found this odd little passage today, just by the Police Station:

[Merddin Emrys]

the other day we saw this passage leading off Upper Mostyn Street



The later sign (and wherever you look they are getting tatty and rusty) looks very sad compared to the earlier sign
