I like this new software.
The Colwyn Bay Hotel in 1972. Disgracefully demolished to allow the building of the Princess Court monstrosity:

What a great picture of the hotel takes me back a bit.hey Barney, good to have you back. :)
If you look at the right of the picture there is a small building behind the bushes,it was part of the hotel but what was it?
if you went there you must be old.
Just think, when you pass Morrisons on the A55, you are passing over the site of that Merry Go Round.

Many thanks to all who posted these great pictures.Welcome to the Forum, Reggie. Just been looking at your blog, very interesting. I'm a little bit younger than you but I went to Old Colwyn Junior School and then Bryn Elian.
Brought back a lot of memories.

Couple of train photos from 1964.
Steam train leaves Colwyn Bay heading towards Llandudno Junction. Allen's Depository was demolished to make way for the A55, a pedestrian footbridge now crosses this location at the West End:

Trojan, the picture of Voryn Hall interests me.
Where exactly was Voryn Hall?
This is a view I'd not seen before...Colwyn Bay looking from the First Pier Pavilion Roof circa 1900:That is a fantastic view!

Llanddulas Viaduct, 1879. The viaduct was manufactured in components at Crewe railway works and assembled on site. The whole process took a total of 28 days.Just remind me again, how long did Maesdu bridge take?

The saying on the banner 'Knowledge Is Power' remains true today!

"Colwyn Bay's Pier and Pavilion is rapidly taking on a new look, as work continues on a large scale modernisation for the structure, Clwyd. 20th May 1969"
You can almost sense the optimism that the Pier's new owners had by building the new Golden Goose building, a feeling that they would be able to revive the pier's fortunes with a contemporary entertainment and amusements offering.That's why your the photographer,.... and I take snaps . :)
I like how the various turrets on the pier reflect the three ages of the structure. At the front, is the original pineapple style turret of the entrance kiosk, dating from 1900. Behind the new build section are the two art deco style turrets, dating from the rebuilt Pavilion in 1934. In the middle is the new building in 1969, with a geodesic style roof, reflecting seaside sandcastles.
