DaveR:
I remember following the construction as a child and going to see the enormous tunnel sections being built in what is now the basin of Conwy Marina. An amazing engineering project and, to think, we could have been lumbered with a massive bridge across the river from Deganwy to Conwy Morfa if wiser heads had not prevailed.

Great photos, btw, Dwsi, keep em' coming!  $good$

Michael:
Even worse. Around about 1946 the idea was to run a road from around the exit off the Telford bridge right along the quay, through bodlondeb (knocking down a few old walls!!) and join the road somewhere around the morfa. How about that for destruction, but it was touch and go what happened

GwynHughes:
just wondered how my photos from webshots got on here , don't mind sharing my photos , but a bit annoyed no reference to where they came from ....Gwyn

Pendragon:
My Dad was inspector for the new penmaenbach tunnel and he has photos that he took during various stages of it's construction which I am hoping to pick up this week.  ;D
