It used to be a matter of routine to take a photo of passengers setting out on a day trip, as in the Rhyl & Potteries Motors image above.
Here the background is interesting: Midland Hotel, Rhyl, on your left with Ye Olde Welsh Cafe (not very olde) in basement on right.
Midland Hotel was a Victorian building in East Parade, close to High Street; now the site is part of White Rose Centre.
I am obliged to Philip Lloyd for a reminder of its location.

| 'The Hague' guest house, Rhyl, was at 2a North Avenue, just round the corner from Butterton Road. The building still exists, still has same name and is now in residential use. |

| You may have passed No.36 Eastville Ave and thought it unremarkable, but the very existence of this late-1940s postcard suggests it was a small B&B. |

Until recently he has been Deputy Chief Constable of Merseyside so I'm sure he will see many familiar faces in North Wales, especially in Rhyl.
