The faded picture above has a charm of its own. It dates from about 1925 and shows the children’s cycling track on the prom. The track was in Queens Gardens, which was opposite the Queens Theatre and Ballroom (now Queens Market). In the background to the left is the original Rhyl Pavilion theatre, which opened in 1908.
Cycling the same way round a roundabout in that rather sedate fashion may seem old hat in this skateboard era, but simple pleasures endure. The track was still there 30 years later when I was going large on the prom. Some of the tricycles had minds of their own, I recall – rather like supermarket trolleys of today.
