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 think the man speaking on the video will be Alex Munro ?? I can remember when there was apropert theatre on the pier,we used to go to pantomines there. The amuzments were called "The Golden Goose" back then, as was the amusment arcade on Colwyn Bay Pier....Happy Memories....thanks for posting the video.

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.
