From tales of famous and infamous characters, strange events and hidden architectural gems, this new book will prove to be a must-have for everyone's bookshelf, appealing not only to local residents with a keen interest in the history of Colwyn Bay but also to the many visitors and holidaymakers who wish to learn more about this fascinating and historical corner of north Wales.
