RARE Documentary: Llandudno Pier in the 1970s

A unique short documentary, showing the attractions and characters on Llandudno Pier in the 1970s. Featuring an Interview with Alex Munro in the Pier Pavilion Theatre, and a wonderful snippet of the Llandudno Pier Company's Orchestra in its final days, performing at the Pierhead Pavilion, which is now an Amusement Arcade. A different world!

I was there with my dad many times , either for a week or a day trip as we lived in Ellesmere Port . We stayed at the north gate Hotel on the seafront and i have many great memories. The hotel must have changed names as i have
never been able to Google or get a picture of it. We went to the Isle of Man a couple of times as well on the boat &
arround puffin Island on those two hour jobbies. 1975 to 1983 , after this my told me i didnt want to go anymore which to me now was sad for him. Me and mine go up there now and it still has a special feel, shame the boats dont
go from the Pier anymore, Good video and big thanks.

Love this. It’s all very ‘ Magical Mystery Tour’. Was expecting Lennon to be popping up in the audience!

I remember many a Llandudno holiday in this period. I would have been been in my formative years and so young enough for Punch and Judy.
