Yes, my Mum's side of the family are from there. My Grandfather worked on the Coed Coch Estate and my Grandmother ran the Post Office there back in the 1960s/70s.

Hello everyone! I am new here and looking forward to getting stuck in! I'll admit that I'm not actually a resident, only inquisitive, and hopefully to become a visitor in the near future! My grandfather was born in Llandudno and I am keen to find out more about the place and his past. There are currenltly many gaps! My son lives in Liverpool, so the trip is possible!

Hope that you enjoy the forum Rosy, there are many old photos on here that will show Llandudno in your Grandfather's day.
If you want to know anything about where he lived etc etc post your request under genealogy and research and someone on the forum may be able to help

There's a fair chance, seeing as EVERYONE is called Roberts!

In fact, I have looked on my phone contacts, and I have added NINE of them in the last four years.

HI, Thank you for letting me enter this forum. I have never lived in Llandudno, but my mother  was brought up here ,. She was the youngest daughter of Arthur   and Maggie Statham , of The Rock Gardens , Queens road. My grandfather ran the nursery  selling alpines  and rock plants  as grown in the Happy valley .As a child we spent our holidays  there . often turning out in our night clothes  to listen to the band and hymn singing on a Sunday evening  on the prom . My uncle Roly Statham was the last member of the family to live in Llandudno.
