Message:		Firstly let me again remind you that I am a Caernarfon Town historian and Llandudno is 30 miles away, so I am not conversant with its geography to that extent. However, in 1950 my wife and I stayed at a hotel called the ALEXANDRIA and I remember it was off Mostyn Street, the main street in Llandudno and on the way to the promenade. As far as I know, that was NOT the name of the Street. It was just around the corner from Mostyn Street and very central. Furthermore, I phoned my friend (an ex policeman) and his wife who have lived in Llandudno for over 30 years and they had never heard of an Alexandria Road. There is a Record Office in Lloyd Street, Llandudno and I suggest you write to them. They are the people most likely to be able to help you. Another source of information would be the Gwynedd Family History Society (Aberconwy branch)and the address of the secretary is: Mr. J.B. Jones, 7 Victoria Road, OLD COLWYN, Conwy, LL29 9SN. The GFHS will answer queries from people who are not paid up members and as your question is one regarding your own Family History they are the people you really should contact. Regards, T. Meirion Hughes, Caernarfon Town Historian
