North Wales Journal - 16 June 1899 - The directors of the Llandudno Grand Theatre Company, Limited, have decided to go to an allotment of the shares applied for recently, a large additional amount of capital having been sub- scribed. The plans and specifications are to be at once prepared by the architect, Mr A. G. Humphreys, in consultation with Mr. Sachs, of London, with a view to the early letting of the contract, and an effort is to be made to secure the attendance in August next of an eminent member of the dramatic profession to lay the foundation-stone. This theatre will be the first dedicated exclusively to the drama to be erected in North or Mid-Wales. From an artistic point of view. therefore, the starting of the work will be an event of importance.

Stumbled on your site whilst looking up Alex munro and the Grand Theatre and it brings back many memories.My mum used to sing for Alex in the late 70's when he had his old time music hall. I live in Kent now but lived in the Colwyn Bay and this brings many good memories of  my  time  in North Wales.Thank you   $thanx$

Welcome to the Forum, Corky. What name did your Mum go under when she was performing?

Ah, thank you. I was just wondering if I had any posters/programmes that featured her. When I get 5 minutes, I will have a look through them.

Great pics, love the old adverts! For some reason though I'm not allowed to view the George Formby picture?
