EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Victorian era and discover the charm of Llandudno, a new and flourishing bathing town nestled between two picturesque bays on the North Wales coast. As depicted in this beautiful 1855 illustration from The Illustrated London News, Llandudno lies at the heart of Conway Bay to the right and Llandudno Bay to the left, extending in a graceful curve from the Little Ormes Head to the Great Ormes Head. The Illustrated London News described Llandudno as a 'new and flourishing' resort, and it is easy to see why. The pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and stunning natural beauty attracted visitors from far and wide during the Victorian era. The town's two bays offer a unique and breathtaking coastline, with the Great Ormes Head forming the foreground of this image. Llandudno's rich history is evident in this photograph, with horse-drawn carriages and elegant Victorian attire adding to the sense of nostalgia. The town's popularity grew during the 19th century, and it became a sought-after destination for those seeking a relaxing and rejuvenating break by the sea. Today, Llandudno remains a beloved seaside town, attracting visitors from around the world who come to enjoy its beautiful beaches, historic buildings, and stunning natural beauty. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history and charm of Llandudno as it was over 160 years ago.
