These evocative images show how trams used to be a vital method of transport through North Wales' towns in the days before there were fleets of buses or mass car ownership. From Pwllheli to Llandudno and Wrexham, these charming images convey a bygone era.

The wreck off Welsh seaside village that only shows itself a few times a year
'It must have been a very low tide as seldom see it like that'

A wreck of a paddle steamer that sank over a century ago just off the North Wales coast was captured on camera this week. The Rhosneigr was carrying 200 passengers from Llandudno to Blackpool on July 20 1908 when it called in to pick up extra people from the Rhos-on-Sea pier.

But to the horror of those on board and the people waiting to be collected, the boat started to sink as it approached the then 400 metre long pier.
