Llandudno Page 2.

Up until 1849 and the Act of Enclosure, Llandudno was just a couple of hundred dwellings with less than 1000 inhabitants. At that time most of the area was presented to the powerful Mostyn family, and to this day remains under their control.

From that time on Llandudno was soon transformed into a Victorian sea-side holiday town, and with the arrival of the railway in the 1850's visitors arrived in their droves. A new pier was constructed in 1875 (extended in 1884), followed by the Grand Hotel - opened in 1902, and all the sea front accommodation essential for large numbers of Victorian visitors.

To this day, Llandudno remains the premier seaside town of North Wales, and we would like to present some of the images and photographs going back to those very early days right up to the present. With an excellent shopping centre and a lengthy seafront walk it is not hard to see why Llandudno was and remains such a popular place to visit.

If you have any photographs you would like to share with us please email me at phil@bodffordd.fslife.co.uk
