Hotel Rothesay 2015
Moved on a bit since Image] in 2013. Currently in the process of being turned into luxury apartments.
However the past history was:-
The building was constructed as an hotel at around the close of the 19th century. It was one of a string of prestigious hotels along this stretch of the promenade. Its size gives you a vivid illustration of the thriving holiday business which Colwyn Bay once attracted. Today the building is given over to flat accommodation and the Daffodil Day Care Centre.
In 1939 the hotel was taken over by the Ministry of Food and remained in their hands for the duration of the Second World War. Part of the hotel was given over to the Canned Condensed Milk Division.
Mr Lyons of the London Corner Houses was in charge. Oddly, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands came to visit the workers during the war. The Ministry officials in the Rothesay were envied for their proximity to the promenade, where they could go for a stroll during their lunch break. However, they were not allowed to venture onto the beach – which was out of bounds to everyone except military personnel.
With thanks to Graham Roberts, of Colwyn Bay Civic Society, for the above.
