THIS is the remarkable story of Llandudno resident Elsie Partington MBE.
Elsie was the daughter of Manchester-based brewery owner John Henry Davies, who helped save Newton Heath FC from going bust, a club that would later become Manchester United.
She lived in Orme Lodge on North Parade, with a chauffeur who drove her yellow Rolls Royce.

Most days she would get her chauffeur to take her in the Rolls Royce to the market, where she would buy a bag of bird food. She would sit on a seat by the pier entrance feeding the seagulls.
Elsie was also a keen supporter of Llandudno RNLI - when the crew returned from a rescue there would be a bottle of Scotch awaiting the crew.
She also helped buy a rescue vehicle and equipment for the Llandudno Mountain Rescue team, and owned a barrel organ which she would lend out for charity fundraising.
She was awarded an MBE and died in 1976.
