This monument has been moved at some point.

Well spotted David ;)
Nice to see it is well preserved and is pristine condition.
I wonder if the "Gothic" style buildings still exist in the original image?

A super postcard, one wonders what it looks like today, I drove through this town during the summer, sadly, most of the Victorian splender has gone forever and I was less than impressed at it's appearance, not as I remembered it as a small boy.

Hello Paul,
The whole of that area has changed forever, only Llandudno remains unchanged in my opinion, it was the stomping ground of the Royal Welch Fusiliers and if you head down to Caernarfon, you will find a good, rather large, display of Third China War medals in the castle, ever wondered why the awful price is now £650 to the RWF.
Kind regards Frank

Paul,

Taking a virtual walk along the promenade just now, some of these buildings have survived, albeit it much modernised form.

Here is picture of this style of house that is fast disappearing from the sea front.

Regards
David
