Scope and Content

This scrapbook contains newspaper cuttings from both local, regional and national newspapers on Llandudno lifeboats and lifeboat service matters generally. Amongst other things, it includes a fragmentary typed chronological list of Llandudno lifeboats and rescues performed by them. This may appear, in part at least, elsewhere in the album as a newspaper report.

It also contains a quantity of photographs, both family and lifeboat related including one of a submarine in Red Wharf Bay. Other photographs include a view of a house in Trevor Street, John Williams and his family, members of the lifeboat crew etc. Unfortunately none of the many people in the photographs have been named.

[Some photographs appear to have been removed at an earlier date; all of those found loose in the album have been placed in archival media in the front of the album.]

Administrative / Biographical History

John Williams was one of the members of the first lifeboat crew who served in Llanduno.
