if that had been a northerly yesterday mostyn st may well have had water, not seen it that high, went over to the west shore took pics towards pen and it was black,  took a pic of the orme side it was like summer, mad weather

Your Dad and my Mother would have seen it worse than that when they lived in the Penmorfa Cottages in 1924.   The other photo is of the North Shore some years later.

One hell of a good artist created that North Shore postcard Hugo!  Never seen that one before.

That is a wonderful image Hugo. Is it your postcard?

[Hugo]

If the water had come over on the North Shore then Clonmel Street and Mostyn Street may have looked like this.

I haven't got the postcard Hollins and can't quite remember where I first saw it.   It's pretty rough there though and the water looks like it was coming over the Promenade too.

It looks more like an artists view of a storm, than an actual photo to me.

Obviously Dave.  Do we have this one on file anywhere?.... I think it's great.
