More about this scene

This view looks east. On the left is the King's Gate, on the right the Chamberlain Tower. The high curtain wall enabled Caernarvon to be provided with three levels of defence, ie two levels of casemates and the wall walk.

The bus shown, a brown and cream Daimler of early 1920s vintage, was ramshackle and dilapidated by the late 1930s, a ...see more
Castle Square of the 1950s and 60s had a vibrancy that is absent nowadays. This was because all of the local bus services terminated there and a constant stream of people dismounted to go about their business throughout the day. People from the hillside communities came to town to do their shopping, buy food, clothing, hardware etc. Families arriving from Liverpool on the coach would change here to ...see more
