More about this scene
Bryn Euryn, below which this limestone quarry once operated, has associations with an early hill fort, Roman remains and a nearby ruined late medieval mansion now known as Llys Euryn. These all make this an interesting place to visit.

The Dingle was indeed a magical place and as a child on holiday in the 1950's, I always chose to go to the beach via The Dingle. I have a photograph of myself and my brother taken by the drinking fountain that was just where the Dingle meets the promenade. I believe it was over the Dingle stream and was erected to commemorate the completion of the promenade. I was hoping to take a current photo ...see more

To Norma Singleton. There is a terrace of houses between Llanddulas & Llysfaen (2 miles from Colwyn Bay) with a terrace called Tyn y Maes. My Nain & Taid lived there before moving to Llysfaen village. I live in Llysfaen & went to Pendorlan Secondary Modern school in Colwyn Bay from 1962, it then changed to a comprehensive school - Colwyn High. Colwyn Bay and surrounding areas have changed immensly.
I went to Colwyn Bay with a girl friend and we stayed at 'Tyn-y-maes' (sorry can't remember how to spell it). I met my husband on that holiday when we were only in our early teens. We were friends on and off for several years and finally got together again and married in 1961. We were there last year and tried to find the place but told it has long since gone. Ah, memories!
