Makes you realise how much things have changed in the past few years - the flower display seen below doesnt exist anymore.

Am I right in thinking that the word 'Llandudno' on Happy Valley used to be spelt out in flowers many moons ago ?

I've got one from the early '70s when Cllr Harold Gott was chairman of Llandudno UDC (as he wrote the forward!) also got another for Conwy although I have no idea of its age but I guess it is from the late '60s or early '70s. Interestingly Conwy is spelt Conway on the cover and there are adverts inside from shops such as Boardman's, Eaton & Co and Black Lion antiques all on Castle Street. If anyone wants to digitise them for all to see then PM and I will get them to you along with a load of Llandudno Advertisers from the 1950s.

Yes, I was just thinking the same.
