If you travelled up Council Street aka Norman Road and through that narrow bit, you would go straight across and the yard was there on the left hand side.

If you were to carry on, you eventually will see Securicor up on the right hand side before you get to Clifton Glass.

Apologies, DaveR, but I hope you can work out where I mean otherwise I will take to car over tomorrow and tell you exactly.

This place?

from 1929

DaveR, it may have been on both sides of the road in that vicinity.

I can remember row upon row of laid-out timber.

BYW, did Council Street West become Builder Street as in suepp's advert?

[Hugo]

Council Street West and Builder Street are two separate streets and in fact Council Street West links with Builder Street West.

Edward Boase's yard wasn't always as big as it is now as I remember the railway to the Gasworks running across part of the land and at that time  Council Street West was a cul de sac on an unmade cinder track road

With Llandudno Laundry next door ?

Mr Shread is standing at the back, Maureens Dad. He used to live on Bryniau Road near the corner of Trinity Avenue. Dick Collins used to work for the GPO in their depot on the Links Road by Rhos-on-Sea Golf Course. I think that's Edwin Starr in the picture (may be wrong though).

That's who I thought it was but I was not confident to say so except if it is Edwin Starr then I was definitely at Paynes that evening for sure.

That was at the rear of the Boase yard on Council St West to the west of the railway branch tracks.

The main entrance was on Cwm Road opposite the junction with Council Street, with the southern part of the premises bordering Council Street West.

I always remember Ronnie Atherton senior (RIP) working there, loading wagons with bags of Tunnel Cement on a blustery cold day with his shirt off. Strong as an Ox was Ronnie.

I'd often see him in the evening too, cycling home down Conway Road  from the RA Club after drinking 18 pints of lager.
