The Girls’ Friendly Society had a lodge/hostel on Church Walks, Llandudno. A photograph in the Llandudno Record Office(CP3203/29/26) is described in the catalogue as being of the GFS lodge. The house is described as being in “Church Walks, Abbey Road”. Comparisons between the photograph and the buildings as they are now shows that this was what is now 36 Church Walks, currently housing the Jaya Indian Cuisine Restaurant. The Girls’ Friendly Society provided safe accommodation and support for young women working away from home and it is possible that this lodge was used in the First World War by women coming to help on the land.
