EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the charm and character of Colwyn Bay, a seaside town located in the historic county of Conwy and the modern county borough of Conwy and Clwyd, Wales. The image, taken in the 1910s, shows the town's bustling promenade, lined with Victorian and Edwardian buildings and adorned with colorful banners and pennants. The town's iconic pier, stretching out into the Irish Sea, can be seen in the background, providing a focal point for the vibrant activity on the shore. The Town, as Colwyn Bay was then known, was a popular holiday destination for visitors from Liverpool and Manchester, who came to enjoy the fresh sea air and the town's many attractions. The beach, with its golden sands and gentle waves, was a particular draw, and the town's many hotels, guest houses, and boarding houses catered to the influx of tourists. The photograph also reveals the town's rich maritime history, with fishing boats and sailing vessels visible in the harbor. The town's proximity to the Irish Sea made it an important fishing and shipping center, and the bustling harbor was a hive of activity. Despite the passage of time, the spirit of this charming seaside town remains alive and well. Visitors today can still enjoy the beautiful beaches, the historic pier, and the many shops, cafes, and restaurants that line the promenade. The Town continues to be a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, offering a unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
