The picture above (TOP) is from Gaynor Williams and is probably from 1950s. It shows the shop F. Matthews, jeweller, silversmith and clock/watch repairer at 13 Water Street. (These days the building on the right is where you would find Citizens Advice Bureau.) The shop’s main claim to fame according to Bill Ellis is that in 1967 it sold him a wedding ring – he still has the receipt.I wonder who the chaps in enlarged detail are. Does anyone know? Please send an email to: rhyl.colin.jones@live.co.uk
In more recent times the shop was Orama Radio/TV sales & repairs operated by Mr and Mrs Sumner who retired a couple of years ago. Presently it is Studio 13 operated by Chris Parkhouse, photographer and photographic printer. He can print his or your photos on canvas, tee shirts, posters, mouse mats and key rings.

Chris also runs a full-colour photocopying service.
