Re hotels claiming they had garages for visitors cars. In the late 40s early fiftys virtually everyone kept their car in a garage at night. Indeed it was'ent until around 1970 that the law was altered to allow parking at night without lights.
Around 1950 I worked in Berrys Garage which still operates in the same place. Up an entry behind Mount Stewart hotel in Rhos. They used to be able to park, u der cover, around 35 cars a night. As the cars became larger, so the problems get them in the space grew. One reason I got the job there. The Berry brothers were both of ample proportions physically and I was always a lightweight, so much so that I had a lot of jokes made about me in school. But I could get out of a narrow slit when the time came to get out of the drivers seats after parking.
