Eryl Place, LLANDUDNO, LL30 2TX

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.

A sheltered housing complex, built in the late 1960s but now no longer deemed fit for purpose, is boarded up prior to demolition and re-development. Work is expected to start in the late Winter for completion in 2015. The road in the foreground is Trinity Avenue.

The Oval is the home ground of Llandudno Cricket Club http://llandudno.play-cricket.com/ who play in the North Wales Premier Cricket League. The oldest recorded match at the ground was between Llandudno Visitors and Riviere's Orchestra on 12th August 1890 http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/293/293568.html It is also home to the Llandudno Oval Bowling Club http://llandudnoovalbowlingclub.co.uk/ which was established in 1906. The site includes a recreational area where football is played and during the summer car boot sales take place at the ground.

Cartrefi Conwy’s £4M+ flagship, state-of-the-art, eco-friendly development promotes and supports independent living for older people. Cysgod y Gogarth replaced two ageing sheltered housing schemes in Llandudno consisting of 30 flats and bedsits at Llys Seiriol and the adjoining Llys Eryl in St Andrew’s Avenue, because they were not fit for purpose and did not address the local housing need. Cysgod y Gogarth is the first new Independent Living scheme that Cartrefi Conwy has developed. For views of Llys Seriol please see Image

A flats complex on St.Andrews Road.

Flats and bungalows set back from St.Andrews Road, looking towards the junction with Trinity Avenue.

St Andrew's Avenue is seen here from its junction with Trinity Avenue in the Llandudno suburbs; the Great Orme forms the backdrop. The terrace of bungalows was probably built in the 1950s for elderly people.
