'Llandudno is more stylish than either Rhyl or Blackpool and not
dearer', observed Edwardian author Arnold Bennett. Prime Minister
Lloyd George considered the resort a perfect tonic, advising
colleagues 'to come to Llandudno is a great pick-me-up'. An 1890
visit by romantic novelist and erstwhile Queen of Romania, Carmen
Sylva prompted a description so apt it was adopted as the town's
official motto, 'A Beautiful Haven of Peace'. To everyone Llandudno
evokes an era of quiet traditional seaside pleasures but has the
town entirely escaped the destructive winds of change? The 1933
Official Guide to Llandudno advised prospective holidaymakers, As a
holiday centre Llandudno has no rival. All the glorious scenery of
North Wales is easily accessible by train, coach, motor or
steamerA" and the Broadway Garage, Craig-y-don was at hand to
supply motors or drivers as required. Times change and Broadway
Garage no longer supplies Rover cars, charabancs or chauffeurs but
instead sells German and Japanese cars and self-service petrol.
This collection of then and now photographs meticulously compiled
and researched by the Chairman and Vice-Chairman of Llandudno &
Colwyn Bay History Society offers a unique insight into the
changing fortunes of 'The Queen of the Welsh Resorts'.
