More about this scene

Visitors enjoy the broad prospects from the pleasure gardens on the Great Orme. Today, the cable car mounts the giant promontory of the Great Orme to the Summit Hotel through the centre of the picture; the only way up used to be a tramway, built in 1903. Crowds in summer flocked to attend the open-air services at the tiny church of St Tudno on the summit.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I was intrigued to find this. I grew up knowing that my great-grandfather, Rabbi Harris Levin of Cheetham had been injured following a cable car/tram accident but did not know the details. He was paralysed following the accident and died a year later in 1933. One of his many children was my grandfather, Joshua Levin. In 1979 I moved to Israel and purely by chance stumbled upon his great-nephew, an Ultra orthodox gentleman with 10 children.

I used to live near that gas tank and sometimes you could smell the gas. Also across the road, there was "something dangerous" which the local residents wanted removing,I think it was a fire or explosive hazard of some kind. Glyn,Llandudno
I believe my great grandfather, Ernest Gordon Wright, was born at the livery stables on Mostyn Street in 1888. His father, my great great grandfather Joseph Wright was the manager until he died in 1889. My great grandfather's older brother, Charles, was also born there in 1887. I would love to know more about them as a family. My great great grandmother's name was Emily Anne.
