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.

Some more rubble trivia........

The rubble from the demolished Zion Chapel in Mostyn St was used for road foundations on the Links estate.

The rubble from the demolished Baths Hotel was used to fill-in the swimming pool in the pier pavillion.

The old Indoor Market (now the car park behind Wetherspoons):

[Bellringer]

When that was closed and its future being decided, didn't someone climb onto and fall through the roof.  He then successfully sued the Council I seem to recall and received quite a substantial payout.

I recall that too, Stan, now you mention it. Apparently the fact that he shouldn't have been there in the first place didn't matter!

The far corner on the photo used to house the old Gas Showroom. Above that is where the Blue Notes had their second bandroom - good music for those passing nearby in Mostyn Street.

That photo brings back memories Dave, seeing the Dunphy`s lorry on the left i have said before on the last forum i think, that my father was the manager of Dunphy`s warehouse and bottling store, every weekday morning i went there to take his lunch box on my way to central school.

Great photo Dave.

The building on the right adjoining the market was the old Fire Station.

Those wagons bring back memories. I used to cadge rides from the John Garstang drivers as a youngster.

Garstangs green lorries, I remember those.

Llandudno Holiday Camp. 

[Bri Roberts]

Is that on the opposite side of the road to Rhos Golf Club ?

I am not 100% sure but that row of houses in the distance looks like Dinerth Road nestling in below Bryn Euryn.  I think it must be higher up than where the GPO phone exchange was as the fields below the exchange (nearer the college) have always been a bit boggy!

You can see the tram tracks bottom left

The winding up of the Landudno Hoiday Camp in the London Gazette refers to Little Orme. Is it therefore somewhere around  Bodafon Fields?

[dwsi]

It is in Penrhyn Bay. What you've got in the picture is Dinerth Hall, with Penrhyn View on Dinerth Road in the background.
Did you know that the road going past the college was once known as vicars road?

[Hugo]

It's Penrhyn Bay for sure and looks like it is in the fields opposite where Pedro's One to One cafe is now. I think that the village of Glanwyddan is visible on the right of the picture and the farm on the left may be Dinerth Hall Farm
