Colwyn Bay.

 

 

Colwyn Bay in North Wales is a Victorian built seaside resort. The pier was erected in 1900 (burnt down in 1922 but rebuilt). A delightful place to visit, with ample accommodation and things to do.

Before we go any further, I have been asked by one of the visitors to try and pinpoint the location of these photographs. All we have to go on is that it was close to Colwyn Bay Zoo, and that it was a residential care home that is possibly named 'Tan y Bryn'. Whether that is the name of the house, or the street, I do not know. It was run by Staffordshire County Council, and the year was 1969. Double click on the three thumbnails to see full size.

This question has now been resolved by several visitors. The home is confirmed as Tan-y-Bryn, and as correctly stated it was a residential home. Prior to this it was an isolation hospital for people who had tuberculosis etc. 

The home is located at the bottom of Dinerth Road which connects the two suburbs of Rhos-on-Sea and Mochdre. 

The first picture shows the coach where the driveway enters into Dinerth Road.

If you look to the right of that picture this is where the road splits, turning right towards the crematorium and turning left takes you to what is now under the A55 Expressway. The Expressway would obstruct sight of the white house with a red roof that can be seen at the back of the photograph. Thank you for your help - webmaster.
