Where was the Alhambra Restaurant?

The answers:
The Savoy Café was in West Parade, on the northeast corner of Queen Street. The photo came from Peter Trehearn whose family were and still are the proprietors of all Rhyl things bearing the name Savoy. Some of Peter’s relatives are in the photo.
and
The Alhambra Restaurant was on the Ocean Beach site, facing the sea. In the early 1950s the restaurant was split into two: an amusement arcade-and-cafe named Playland, and a dance hall which was renamed Ritz Ballroom in 1955. The whole lot was destroyed by fire in 1968.
