Beauty Spots In North Wales: A Favourite North Wales Resort: the Beach at Colwyn Bay, 1909. 'Largely through the enterprise of the London and North Western Railway Company, which has increased and improved its train service to North Wales, that delightful district is being more and more patronised by holidaymakers from all parts of the country...Colwyn Bay, situated between Llandulas Head and the Little Orme, has grown rapidly in recent years, and is now a highly popular holiday resort. The Victoria Pier and Pavilion was recently erected at a cost of £50,000, and the esplanade extends for a distance of over two miles. Our Illustration shows a typical scene on the beach, where children are playing, mothers looking after their families, and men taking life easily'. From "Illustrated London News", 1909.
