Great pics Tony.

Just looking for features on the prom that still exist.
I can't make out many!

Infact only 1!
Is the ice cream kiosk in the bottom right of the first image still standing?

I think it's still there, It was Clwyd Cream Ices, their motto was "Often licked , never beaten" Best ice cream ever.

I suppose you can all remember the Radio 1 Road show coming to Rhyl, every year we had the biggest turnout, sometimes thousands would turn up. They decided to get rid of the baths and the Floral Hall and redevelop the whole prom. The Events arena was built with the idea that when the Roadshow came to Rhyl it would be the biggest and best of the series, unfortunately by the time it was completed Radio 1 had had a new controller, he got rid of the older DJ's and cancelled the roadshows because "They didn't reflect the youth audience he wanted for the station" Still we got Pete Tong and Chris Moyles.

I remember cycling through the Coronation gardens one day and spotted Mike Read playing tennis there!
It was the day before a roadshow.
On the day of the event, Shakin Stevens was one of the guests.
Mike, who could pull out a mean Elvis impression when required, joined Shaky dancing to one of his hits onstage. The flimsy nature of the set, coupled with the fact that they actually played records back then, had the needle jumping all over the place.

It was a big turnout as I remember!
