John Jones who has the donkeys reminded me a few years ago about us playing football on the sand close to the pier in the late 50s early60s.

Well spotted Steve, the sandy beach must still be somewhere underneath all that quarry waste that is there now. Llandudno is a beautiful resort that has been carefully developed over decades only for a small number of Councillors to destroy two beaches within a few years.
Just imagine that plane trying to land on the present North Shore beach now, it would certainly have a bumpy, or should I say a rocky landing
Helig:
Just to say that my mother (b1923) used to speak about the two seas meeting in Gloddaeth Avenue. That was when she was young. She lived in St David's Place and the house had a cellar which used to fill with water at times as well.
Helig.

I believe that a lot of properties with basements had problems with flooding and in fairly recent times too but their problems weren't caused by the sea coming over , it was more from the drains.
In fact when I was a teenager I was in a rush to get down the steps in the toilets at Bog Island and jumped the last 3 steps straight into about a foot of water :o
