Curious picture of the BeachHuts in Pensarn. I think it was taken in the 50’s. Strange to think that one of them was relocated to our garden to be a shed.

Britain from Above
There’s a new website that looks fascinating. It’s the digitised archive of aeriel photos of British towns by the Royal Commission. Here’s a gem from Britain from Above. Notice the allotments (!!) in Parc Gele at the bottom of the picture and the two tanks (grain, coal gas?) at the rear of Chapel Street. Add any other spots to the Comments below please.
I first discovered the site via this tweet by the Royal Commission: “BRITAIN FROM ABOVE rare & fragile aerial photos from Aerofims Collection conserved, digitised and now available online http://ow.ly/bNtsl”
If you register on the site you can bookmark and comment on favourite images.
This site’s a keeper.
Compare this image with the one on http://abergelepost.com/from-on-high.html
I’ll end this post with a link to more pictures of Abergele from Britain from Above.
Old Drawing Postcard of Pensarn
I think this is a lovely drawing of Old Pensarn. Its interesting as it shows cattle grasing on fields to the seaward side of the railway line. No promonade when this was drawn. I remember an old guy, known as “Mustard”, working in the dairy at the bottom of Clwyd Avenue telling us, as children, that when he was a boy he used to cross the railway line and walk across the fields to the sea. We weren’t sure we should believe him but now I’ve come across this postcard…….

Found this card in Old Book Shop in Colwyn Bay.
