Rhyl

When I think of Rhyl I think of everything that you would have expected from a large seaside resort, sun, sand, sea, promenades, piers and large funfairs. Rhyl is sadly but a shadow of its’ former self, but nevertheless still a good place to visit.

Rhyl is quite similar to Blackpool – I think – in that it once had – and probably still does – rows of shops that had been turned into amusement arcades.

Here are more old photographs and old postcards of Rhyl in North Wales, and my thanks go out once again to all of our contributors.

The area of Rhyl includes the small harbour at Fforyd, sometimes spelt Foryd.

Sun, sea, the fair – that is what Rhyl was all about.

Few people would know that the world’s first hovercraft service was run from the Wirral to Rhyl in 1962.
