The Downtown, sticky carpets and Petula Clark as the last dance number. What about the 1520 Club

dont forget the studio 2000 ,or the bucaneer club

I'm struggling with that one Tony.

and 'er indoors has been telling me about Mr Toms (a fishmonger) and also the Grotto Cafe, called something else before then -

I've got an aeriel photo somewhere from the 1930s of that streatch taken by Hewitt (Vince?)

never known anyone to go swimming wearing stilettos and when I was a kid the diving boards were a lot higher

and they were on the other side of the pool

The little lad with his arm on the platform has just realised there's going to be more to life than Tizer, marbles and Fireball XL5,

He looks a little familiar, couldnt be anyone off here could it???

The Floral Hall was a great place. Much better than the shite thats there now. and would have probably cost a lot less to repair it rather than tear it down and build the events arena and the new Aquarium.

Watch this space for the name of the parrot

Fantastic pics of The Floral Hall.

As Kev said, what a great place.

Suspect he has reached his monthly upload limit ... with all these interesting pics

Welcome back Tony.

You`ve been missed.

Now there's a sight you don't see everyday.

Is that Ian on the far bank with a Flounder on?

that'll be a trunk route then.


Tony, have you got any pics of Rhyl's mechanical elephant?

Your right on the Anglia Ian.
The car heading towards Rhyl looks like an Austin, but i could be wrong.

Welcome back tony.

Is that the town hall at the end?

Seems to be called the Bowling Green,
but I'll take a guess at the Prince of Wales near the foot of Vale Road -the only (current) pub I can think of with a door on the corner.
