I used to work and study in Manchester for several years in the 1960's and frequently travelled back to my home town of Hatch End to see my girlfriend, Angela Chapuis. Sometimes she would come up north to see me. One wet weekend in April 1967 Angela and I set off from Manchester to visit North Wales in my old car.... [more]

We had our very first family holiday here, we were a family of five and money was scarce, but what a great time we had, I have very fond memories indeed.

Ahhh, glorious Penmaenmawr where I have spent some lovely holidays. The sunsets over the bay to Puffin are really something to see, the Fairy Glen and Dwygyfylchi pubs to stay awhile and drink in the atmosphere. The walks along the beautiful sandy beach and surrounding countryside. We had a caravan there and spent so many happy times collecting shells, blackberries, walking... [more]

I believe this was a classed as a boating pool. I used to bring my father's 1930's model steamboat here and run it to the amazement of onlookers. There weren't many model steamboats around in the 1950s although they have since become more popular. The old steamboat is still with me and still gets an occasional run. Toy yachts were the...

Chris and Mike sail their blue yachts
Myself and older brother are the two boys on the right of the picture. That day we had been treated to a new blue yacht. We had returned to live on Anglesey as our father was working overseas.
That yacht held such memories that I bought one for my own son twenty-five years later and still have it to this... [more]

David Mills lived at #3, I lived at #11. Mansell Grifthiths, Dianna Lucas, Jean Jackson, Mary Quin all lived on the same street. I ended up in Vancouver. What happened to everyone?

To the right of the Jaguar car was a farm yard set behind a large brown wooden gate. As a child I recall seeing an old man dressed in black coat and hat riding very slowly on a black bike driving his black cattle through the street to the 'green' in front of the castle. They moved very slowly there and... [more]

Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Llanfairfechan, inspired by Frith photos.
North Wales Photographic Memories
The resort is described in an 1890s guidebook: 'it has a wooded and well-sheltered situation and a singularly lovely seaward prospect. No great crowds of holiday-makers are seen in our illustration, but the astute observer may discern significant signs of the rising watering-place'.
This is an extract from North Wales Photographic Memories.

Conwy, Denbighshire and Flintshire Photographic Memories
Are the ladies conscious of the camera? This marvellous image encapsulates the changes taking place in Llanfairfechan and similar villages at this time. The more recent terraced buildings can be seen rising behind the few smaller cottages that remained when this photograph was taken. The beach vans indicate where the sands actually start!

This pleasant stone-built Victorian seaside resort clusters beneath the steep craggy slopes of the coastal mountains on Conwy Bay, and looks across the broad eastern approaches of the Menai Strait to Anglesey. This photograph shows the narrow twisting Main Street constrained beneath the mountain.
