More about this scene

Rhos-on-Sea was the poorer cousin to nearby Colwyn Bay, yet it still manages an identity of its own. This parade of shops selling its goods to potential holidaymakers runs down to the small promenade; the atmosphere here seems refreshingly restrained. Rhos is less commercialised than some of its neighbours, and remains a gentle mix of resort and rural seaside town.

I grew up in Rhos on Sea and remember very clearly the group of shops in this photo. I was sent regulary to Reynolds Hairdressers for a "Short Back & Sides" and as a small child sat on a plank of wood which rested on the arms of the Barber's Chair so I was high enough for Mr Reynolds to reach! My best pal's grandparents owned Roberts Newsagents and on Sunday mornings he and I sold papers from the stand outside the shop in good weather.- Happy days!
