Two significant photos of Llandudno.........

Some nice photos there Steve.      That one of the White Rabbit is especially  poignant when you look at that area now and see what damage was inflicted on the West Shore by a small group of Councillors

Nice windmills, shame that they are in South Africa.

I thought you would like those two photos I posted, as for the Windmill, I did hesitate for a second, but passed over it....

A blast from the past there.

Man playing the accordion on Llandudno Pier in 1996, used to be a Car Park Attendant at York Railway Station when I was Traffic Manager there in the 1980's. Well known as "Dundee Fruitcake " in those days.

Sorry about that, just noticed, it is Bangor pier not Llandudno.

Photo below......Former Llandudno Junction station staff Ifor Williams and Jack Hayes, with their wives, pictured in February 1989, were among 200 people from North Wales who went on a special outing on the scenic Settle-Carlisle line.

I met Ifor Williams about 20 years ago, unfortunatly during a hospital stay, but one of the most interesting people I have ever met, a true railway man, and self taught engineer, who made fantastic miniture working steam trains, he was a member of the Llandudno steam enthusiasts

In the pic of two boys eating ice cream ... where or what is the domed building behind?

If no one can help, it is probable the DP messing up.

[Hugo]

I'm not sure of this  but could it be the Victorian style green roof and glass dome of a building in Rhyl's Children's Village on a cloudy day, Rhyl, D enbighshire, North Wales
The photo I've seen of the inside of the building looks to be the same shape as the photo of the children with the green glass building behind them

i wonder if someone has a spare atlas they can send to the staff at Daily Post ... I am amazed at their lack of geographical knowledge ... in another recent set of Llandudno views did they not have one from Llandudno in South Africa?
