A view of Conwy Marina, set against the slopes of Conwy Mountain, from the Vardre Deganwy. The marina basin was used to construct the tunnel sections for the Conwy Tunnel. On completion each section would be floated out of the basin and sunk in the river to form the tunnel section of the North Wales Expressway. During the Second World War the basin was used to construct the Mulberry Harbours that were then floated around the coast of Britain to be used on the French coast during the Normandy Landings. Hence the name of the Marina Pub and Restaurant - the Mulberry.
