THIS weeks Nostalgia takes a look at an old theatre and cinema complex which was a popular hub of entertainment in Colwyn Bay for half a century.

The building, at the junction of Marine Road and Conway Road, opened in 1936 as one of the original cinemas in Oscar Deutsch's chain of Odeon Theatres Ltd (which would become ODEON).

At this point, there was seating for 1,706 people - 1,128 in the stalls and 578 in the circle.

Public toilets in Llandudno have been vandalised ahead of the busy bank holiday weekend. The public toilets on the promenade at West Shore have been deliberately damaged by vandals, rendering them ?out of order? ahead of the Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza this weekend.

The toilets are thought to have been damaged following a spate of vandalism in and around the West Shore area. The damage has prompted some people to blame Conwy County Council on social media.

But Cllr Louise Emery has revealed the damage to the pay-to-use toilets was unforeseen. ?There has been some intentional damage to the toilets in West Shore, damage to the locks on the disabled toilet in particular,?

The police have been contacted, but they have nothing to go on...................    :)

Mostyn Estates update after sign erected for popular Llandudno attraction that closed last year
Bodafon Farm Park on Bodafon fields had been running for more than 20 years before its closure

North Wales Live contacted the estate to see what the latest was with the site. They confirmed that they "have plans" for the Farm Park but did not elaborate further, saying an announcement would be made in the future.
I'm intrigued because I've always believed that Mostyn Estates wanted to make the place unviable for farming and then it gives the Estate an excuse to develop the land for building.     I hope I'm wrong because it would be nice if they created something for the benefit of locals and visitors alike

Norman, you're almost as cynical as me but that was a good point and after all there are some by-elections this week
When we were in the EU we had a similar policy and paid the migrants for volunteering to be deported, but it is also in  the migrants Human Rights to go through that procedure again if the migrants again enter the UK illegaly
Absolutely bonkers!

A PIECE of equipment is being used at a hospital in order to improve the experience for patients with hard-to-find veins.

This is at Ysbyty Gwynedd in Bangor.
Having noticed the need to improve the experience for patients with difficult veins, Junior Doctor Lois Williams secured a ?3,000 grant from Health Education and Improvement Wales and around ?600 from Menter M?n to purchase the equipment - known as a vein finder, through the Trainees Transforming Training initiative.

Dr Williams said: ?We?ve been very lucky to obtain a grant to purchase a vein finder and we hope this will empower nurses, phlebotomists, medical students and junior doctors to take blood and cannulate from patients who are difficult to obtain access.
