A view of Abergele Road where it cuts through the centre of Old Colwyn. Chip shops, pubs, cafes, newsagents line the road. Much of the trade disappeared from Old Colwyn shops with the advent of the A55 Expressway in the 1980's. Some might say it was a price worth paying to lose the conjestion and mile long traffic jams that plagued the village. But I do not expect the businesses that went bankrupt to agree! In the background can be seen Llysfaen and the hill known as the Marian.
