The houses here, leading off Trinity Avenue, are characteristic of local authority developments in the years immediately after the Second World War. They were in fact built in 1947 by Llandudno Urban District Council (UDC) in order to relieve what had become an acute housing shortage in the town. During the war a number of government departments had relocated from London to the area, which was seen as a safe haven from enemy bombing, thus boosting the local population. As servicemen returned from the forces after hostilities were ended there was an urgent need for new houses and Denness Place was one of a number of similar projects. Today many of the houses are privately owned.
