Here is a picture that I have never seen before. It dates from 1963 and shows part of West Parade. To your left of the picture would have been The Black Cat arcade; to your right would have been The Roma coffee bar and then the Lucky Strike arcade. All these properties were owned by the Webber Brothers who operated rides at Ocean Beach Fun Fair such as Dodgems and Figure Eight Rollercoaster.
These days in this part of West Parade you would see Palace Fun Centre which is owned by H.B. Leisure. The picture was handed to me by Mr. Mark Webber of Webbers Amusements the adult arcade at 78 High Street, Rhyl. Mark feels confident about the town's future and he is planning to expand his business.
