Many coastal towns across the country were simply
the place be for a day out or full on holiday. Rhyl was one such town, and has been a favourite destination for summer holidays for generations, people came from far and wide to enjoy the long sandy beach and bustling front. We recently asked readers for their memories of the North Wales seaside town. Combining some of your recollections with a fantastic collection of postcards from history columnist, the late Elvet Pierce, courtesy of his son Brynmor, we take a nostalgic trip to the beach.
