Chapel Street 1905

Imagine how quiet the town would have been back then all day long, with only the occasional clip-clop of hooves to break the silence.

You've reminded me that I promised Merddin Emrys this morning that I would post this old photo of the West Shore Lake:

Imagine how quiet the town would have been back then all day long, with only the occasional clip-clop of hooves to break the silence.

If someone passed away  in one of the houses they would have put straw down in the road to deaden the sound of the horses hooves - how times have changed!

West Shore in the 1930's

That's an  one. Shows the old West Shore jetty, and if you look beyond the boating lake, is that where the children's playground is today?

[suepp]

it is but it's difficult to tell what it was then, theres some sort of barrier across the footpath.

Thanks Dave, very interesting

I just saw this photo of Llandudno on Ebay and it stumped me for a minute or two, as to where it was taken from and what I was looking at. Then I realised, it was taken from Gloddaeth street and its looking up to Llywelyn Ave...but there's no buildings in between! You can see the Tabernacl on the right. You'll have to click on the image to see it full size to have any chance of making sense of it:

It looks like a BIG cheeseburger...

The area with trees opposite Gloddaeth Street was called Llys Madoc Field.

A 6000 seat octagonal wooden pavilion was built there to house the 1864 National Eisteddfod.

The building to the left of Tabernacl looks like today's Sunnyside Hotel.

Dave, correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks to me that the buildings in Llewellyn Ave end beyond today's Sunnyside Hotel, with maybe a building visible to it's left in Tudno Street.

If you look further left, it looks like Church Walks, with Old Road running up between the trees?
