Not a postcard, but can't see where  else to put it!  just found this today, said to be from 1940, my mother, uncle and grandfather are on it my grandmother (whose maiden name was Bunney) was present but disliked having her picture taken! Looks like Mostyn Street with the Great Orme in the background.

It is Mostyn Street. Looks like they have just walked past Blades the Chemist no less.

Blades is now the 'Past Times' shop, formerly Bay Trading.

Trivia Fact of the day is that the original Asda car park's foundation was made of all the rubble from the Craigside Hydro Hotel.
