Lovely Penmaenmawr

A Memory of Penmaenmawr.

My grandparents were evacuated here during the war so we spent our holidays here from the mid 1950s I loved Pen with its promenade ,fairy glen ,and the lovely covered streets.Best of all Sambrooks cafe its pond and ice cream and little penny machines.They lived at Glanfrwyd on Fernbrook Rd opposite Eden hall with its goldfish pond grandad always said the stream in the garden supplied their fountain!!YeRs later I spent year 7 at Aberconway school and little had changed in 68 but now it’s not the same although I have taken my kids up the mountain !

Hi Lesley

I’m hoping you can help me. Years ago my Mum went to a cafe in Penmaenmawr, perhaps around the 1960s. We visited years later in 1992 and it was derelict then. From memory, it was an (L-shaped?) white building and situated near the bowling green. I wonder if this is the Sambrooks Cafe you mention here, though my Dad seems to think it was called The Black Cat. Could you shine any light on it? Any feedback would be very welcome!

Thanks in advance,

Jonny
