SEA WALL PLAQUE

Couple of months ago in this blog there appeared this version of an image sent by George Owen MBE who said, "The photo was taken in 1903 to mark the opening of the sea wall improvement on the western part of the promenade.

     "The stone plaque had survived until recently but seems to have disappeared ignominiously amidst the current improvement works. I had a closeup of the plaque but it seems to have gone missing.
     "Do you have a photo of the plaque/commemoration stone?"

Sadly, the answer had to be no - but now George has come to his own rescue. He says: "I just found the colour pic of the 1903 Commemoration Stone which I took in 2010 – the plaque could do with a bit of TLC before it’s reinstated in the new sea wall which I am told is the plan."

"Although there are 21 men in the photo of the opening ceremony there are only 11 names on the RUDC Works Committee stone," continues George, "and my relative Mr. Griffiths, who appears in the photo, wasn’t one of them. 

     "Several of the names on the stone also appear on the list of Chairmen above the stairs in Rhyl Town Council Council Offices.
     "By the way, Councillor H.A. Tilby also donated the gates at entrance to Coronation Gardens in 1937 – he had served for a good stretch!"

Thanks to George Owen for all that. His MBE was awarded for services to Clapham, London. George has done a lot for Rhyl too, and I am pleased to note the fact here.
