Caravan holidays

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 down the many little lanes and across the golf course, up to the Sychnant Pass where there is such solitude and you can hear the sound of the birds and smell the country air.  The Jubilee path which was cut to commemorate Queen Victoria is a real joy to behold where on a clear day you can see the Isle ...read more here

Holidays at Conwy

For several years in the early 60's our family spent our summer holidays at the caravan park just outside the town of Conwy.  I have very happy memories of visiting the castle and the lovely town.  Often in the late afternoon we would walk to town via the Harbour Walk and spend a lovely evening by the harbour quay where I recall there was a little pub where you could sit outside.  My father would have a beer and my mother a shandy.  Along the Harbour Walk there was an old sanitorium which had fallen into disuse.  I wonder whether it's still there, it seemed a fairly substantial building.  My brother and I were amazed by the "smallest house", there was ...read more here

Christ Church, Arvon Avenue

Passing Place on the Upper Section, Great Orme Tramway

This is a photograph of two tramcars, Nos 6 & 7, at the passing loop above the Great Orme Mines. They are painted in the Dark Ochre livery which was only used for a few years after the upper line's opening in 1903. The haulage cables are clearly visible, these being of seven eigths of an inch diameter. They roll above ground on 12 inch sheaves and are guided by 'top hat' profiled pulleys. Every pulley requires greased lubrication on a daily basis, this being a backbreakingly unpleasant job. Without this, the cables would wear out quickly and would literally scream in protest! One can also see the two trolley poles mounted on each roof, these being used singly for signalling ...read more here
