What's Llandudno Like Right Now?

[Trojan]

Excellent site about the history of Llandudno, which has a lot of old photos and a map of all the old pubs in town.

A lot of old photos....that have been nicked off this website's gallery. :rage:

Yes, isn't it Three Towns Forum member PKevin's site?

That site has been there for ages.

Craig Ollerton also produced a disc of postcards of Llandudno, some of which were scanned from cards that I had given him.   I have a copy of the disc, so access to these old pictures is not restricted by any means.

Most of the photos are taken from the Gallery here, Yorkie. I know that because specific images that I have resized, cropped, enhanced etc (and hence are unique to this Gallery) are reproduced on this other website, not to mention the odd more recent photo that I have personally taken.

Not denying there could be some poaching as impossible for me to check all I have against them.  Give him the same punishment as Colonel Gadafi would - chop his hand off.   

You can use a copyright claim against the ISP, that would sort it.

there are some on there that have come from my collection of family photos ! I supose that's what happens when they are posted on public forums,

[DaveR]

Well, the guy is a fan of Llandudno and has obviously put a lot of work into setting up the site, so my only wish really is that he would acknowledge the source of the pics.

I've been to it many times when trying to find answers to the Forum's Guessing games!!   Not with much success however!

 ¢¢## Im not sure where the town turns from here with Hooson;s chemist closing,J D Sports moving on to Parc Llandudno and now Alworths closing down that end of town is going to look horrendous,its no surpriser to me the town council are;nt bothered about xmas lights,there will be no shops left to benifit from them.

[DaveR]

I was just talking to Darren in Fountains and he said that Alworths was closing down. Thats a real shame. It could maybe do withbeing subdivided into smaller shops or a shopping arcade.

HI all,

Yes I do run oldllandudno, but I run it for the community to enjoy.

I started it because i got P*****f with other sites slaping thier copyright/water marks all over the images and pictures, and then having the cheek to selling them to us .

If I have a picture that you own the copyright to, just let me know and i will remove it.  If you want it to stay and want me to put your name on it , just let me know
and I will do it.

Fair play Kev.

That DaveR has a lot to answer for.

Would make a nice house. I would keep the Town Councillors on to provide the hot air for the heating system.

  I will offer one hundred thousand and then kick the lodgers out. ZXZ

We were walking round it the other day, and I was wondering how much longer it would survive. Lacking the bulk-buying power of Woolies, and the ability to have branded goods with their name and logo superimposed does leave them vulnerable. It was a good effort to preserve what many have fond memories of, but I'm not surprised they're closing.
