Also, I could vaguely see a large ominous building that looked like it was to the left of Ty Gwyn road, or part way up Llwynon Road.... but it was too fleeting a glimpse to be sure.
Dark brickwork and at least 2 gables.

Wonderful, we loved the dodgem boats, went on them every holiday, then one year they vanished and the Golden Goose amusements was in it's place!  :(

Nem, they were powered by electricity, never had a shock from them though!  $good$

Halcyon days in Llandudno.  :)

The fairground bits were filmed at Pat Collins Amusements in Colwyn Bay, whilst the mini cars were at the bottom of Eirias Park.

Pat Collins eh?  Thanks for that.
The choo-choo trains ride, and the little cars on the track were staple attractions at many holiday destinations when I was a kid.
I well remember identical rides at Butlins Filey and Pwllheli, and Blackpool pleasure beach.
