Hotels of Llandudno
« on: March 24, 2011, 09:22:59 pm »
Just an excuse for me to post some of the adverts I've just uploaded really but feel free to comment, add anecdotes etc...

All these are from 1972:

Am I right in thinking that the Dorchester is now the Amalfi Court apartments down on Craig Y Don promenade?

Its amazing how stylish the frontage of the Empire is now, compared to the 70's.

But, what is (or was) that building down to the right.    (On the corner of Ty Gwyn Rd and Church Walks?)

It looks crenallated, like a castle turret.

So would what is now The Dorchester Apartments have been the Bedford?

Yes. Bit confusing, isn't it! And 'The Mistrals' was built on the site of the petrol station.

Ahhh, thanks Dave.
What looked like a medieval arrow loop, was actually a telegraph pole, crossing a roofline!

All is as it should be.

The Regent Court had an indoor swimming pool that I used to frequent in the '90's. Not many locals knew it existed, so more often than not, you had the pool to yourself.

The Bedford was "Norrie's York Villa" around the turn of the last century:
