Beach house Conwy Morfa Holloway family
« on: June 25, 2017, 06:11:43 pm »
Hi all
I am assisting Angie Baker on FB in LLandudno in old photographs group she is seeking to establish the location of Beach house Conwy Morfa  once owned by the Holloway family who her parents were friends. Beach  house was used in ww2 as a refuge for refugees  also a sgts mess on the Morfa camp. Can any body especially Holloway family get back either to me or direct to Angie Baker on FB LLandudno in old photographs as she is doing some research for her sister in Australia and is wishing to speak to the Holloway family

There is another link to the Holloway family  here on the forum, and you can see the photos in the photo gallery.

I saw it by putting the address and family name into Google and the link came up with the photos but when I tried to post the link on here it wasn't allowed.

I thought you said it wouldn't allow you to post it, Hugo.

Are you able to view a newspaper report on my posted link?

A Better update :-
Chris or Jim Holloway lived at beach house 1935 to 1955 this covers the period when Angies Mum was there in 1942 he posted a picture of beach house on this forum in 2013 .If Chris/Jim can  be traced Angies questions can be solved thanks.
Angie cant get onto this forum thats why i am helping her.

When I posted it on here, it came out just like your posting Bri so I went back in and modified the posting by deleting the link and rewording it

It's strange here because after I logged off the forum I put  Beach House Conwy Morfa Hollway family into Google and then I was able to see the photos of Elsie Ted George and Ronnie  and the house.     ???

Thanks for replies ive managed to establish that the photographs of beach house were put on by Steve Bailey grandson of the former owner of beach house Jim Holloway. Steve Baily used the  forum name bilkobailey.
Any ideas if Steve Bailey is still around? find him and that's the enquiry completed

Anybody interested in my choice of forum name ?You would have to be from Marian road circa 1960 the area around the Gt Orme bus station at the back of Marian road was known to us as kids as the gurdus i think it stemmed from a time when the girders were laid out for the gt orme bus shed hence the name gurdus.
