Hi Paddy

Thanks for the reply. Do you know where the Regent Court was?  I'd like to just go and look at it Happy memories......As we left my Grandfather used to pay the deposit for next year......I remember the motor boats on the pier.....Like dodgems with sticky up bits and sparks everywhere

If this pic does actually attatch I'm the handsome chap in the hat.

The Regent Court Hotel was originally 5 Mostyn Crescent on the parade.  It first merged with No 4 and/or No 6 but used the same name. Eventually it was absorbed into the Marine Hotel, I guess about 20 years ago.

Many thanks Cambrian

That's exactly the information that I was looking for. This electric interweb is a wonderful thing

Glad you found the info you wanted and you look so cute in that photo.
It reminded me of similar trips to a guest house in Blackpool. We were taken there every year to the same place by my great Uncle Harry, a lovely man.
We must be about the same age. I can see myself sitting on my best behaviour at the table.
Hope you enjoy this forum and welcome!

[IanR]

Thank you for the welcome..

...Looking cute......I didn't know what life had in store for me.....Best behaviour......Where's it gone?........I don't want to appear big headed but my (grown up) children know how to behave.....Last year I had a cup of tea on the Orme. As I looked around I thought "You lot weren't born when I started coming here" Rather than be a grumpy old man I left quietly. Times change........About the same age???......I'm still 6

Hi, guys
Just a short intro.
I am Rob from Bury, Lancashire.
I have viewed this forum as a guest for the past few years for general info on the town & to look at Dave Rs Photos   
I visit LLandudno numerous times per year with my wife, & for the past few years mostly stayed at the same guest house. We would love to eventually retire to here, or somewhere near.

Welcome Rob. Yes I do agree, Dave's pictures do enhance the forum considerably.

[DaveR]

Welcome, Rob, and thank you for your kind words. You too, Stan.

Great post Micox. You've been about a bit!

[Deb]

Hi, I'm Deb. I've been married to Phil for 32 years and work as a Police Sergeant in Greater Manchester. Phil retired from the Police after 30 years service 5 years ago and our plan is to move to Llandudno as soon as our house is sold.
We have been visiting Llandudno for many years and we just love the area, especially Angel Bay.
The commute to work will be a long one but I think it will be worth the extra miles - I've only got 2 more years left at work, and I think the benefits of living by the coast will outweigh the travel.
It feels like quite a big step for us as we don't know a soul in the area but I'm sure that will change when we become residents and get chatting to fellow dog walkers.

[Ian]

Welcome aboard, Deb. Plenty of ideas in here as to the nicest places to live in the Llandudno area.

Hi
I'm Chris , 51, based in Liverpool, I'm a sound dubbing mixer on a Mersey-based TV soap, supposedly filmed in Chester. My interests are largely genealogical, and I came across this forum after meeting another member over on a family history research site.
My wife's JONES family hail from Llandudno, and some still even live in the area, down by the beach at Rhos.
Love the area very much and have many happy childhood memories of great times spent on holiday here. I also have family down the road in Caernarvon, ( cousin Geraint is a well known Welsh poet and singer).
So if anyone is out with a camera and passing by Bron Y Berllan in Llandudno (family residence in 1911 census) or the Penn-y-frith cottages on the Orme (1901 census) I wouldn't mind a cheeky photo or two please,  just to try and jog one or two memories in the family, thanks!
