THIS week’s Nostalgia sees us take a look back at the iconic Mostyn Street in Llandudno.
The street is named after the Lord Mostyn, whose family and estate were instrumental in the expansion of Llandudno and its creation as a Victorian holiday resort.
Running parallel to the Promenade on the beachfront, the bustling street runs from top to bottom of the town, and has long been home to many of the seaside resort’s stores, cafes and eateries.
Iconic stores such as Clare’s, Wartzki’s, one of the original Marks & Spencer outlets, and H. Blairman & Sons once lined the street, which remains a shopping hub to this day.
The old Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Electric Railway was also a fixture of the street, with its green and white livery adorning Mostyn Street for nearly 50 years.
