Rhos On Sea & Colwyn Bay

It is not just my youth that has long gone...........

I thought somebody might have commiserated over the loss of Rhos pier, if not my youth...

There was quite a debate about Rhos pier a few years back on here.

Last night I watched a rerun of the BBC programme Coming Home with the recently deceased Terry Jones, of Monty Python fame, (I believe available on BBC iplayer,) returning to Colwyn Bay in 2009, part of the programme was a piece with Graham Roberts of the Colwyn Bay Heritage Group You are not allowed to view links.

During the interview, they discussed  his Grandfather and mothers part in the production of The Sorcerer in 1929, and I noticed that my GF was in that show, with both Terry's Grandad W.G. Newnes and his mother Dilys Newnes, nice surprise for me.

In 2015 I posted a piece on Terry Jones....You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login    Reply #194 on: July 15, 2015,
