of an article that was based on an interview with John W Lloyd of the Marine Hotel, Old Colwyn. At the time of the interview JWL was said to be Old Colwyn's oldest resident [born c. 1845]. He recalls the first policeman stationed in Old Colwyn; the Post Office and how mail was delivered; the days of coaching; the Erskines at Pwllycrochan; Rhos-on-Sea including Rhos Fynach and the fishing weir; and the building of what was probably the first house in Colwyn Bay: Ivy House.
