Llandudno 1950s
Discussion
Came across another lovely piece of nostalgic film.

Spot the vintage MG around the 1.48 mark; you could've sworn the car in the previous shot was was gonna drive into that tram. I wonder if that MG is still around? (I doubt it somehow). Not much consideration of safety and pedestrians back then; people running across the road narrowly escaping being hit, just walking on their way. The way those saloon cars drive speedily around the tram and in front of it you'd think they'd just robbed a bank
What I find surprising is the amount of cars about, at a time when most people didn't have a car. No idea what date, but probably mid 50s at most I'd say.

There are certainly a few classics there, and a little less H & S than there would be today, I think.
At just after 3 mins there's a shot of a Rover P4, post cyclops but what looks, to me, to have the raised boot line, introduced for the 1955 model. However, despite having looked at it a few times, I can't be sure as the boot is only in view for a very short time.
I'd be surprised if it's much later than the mid-50s.
