The Llandudno Railway, opened on the 1st October, 1858. 'The St. George's Harbour Railway, between Llandudno and on a curve, at the foot of the Suspension Bridge, junctioning with the Chester and Holyhead [It] then crosses the turnpike road, and stretches along the Conway shore, keeping in view the mountain range of Penmaenmawr and the straits and town of railway is of great importance to Llandudno, as it brings this delightful watering-place in connection with all the principal lines of railway. Llandudno is rapidly rising into importance, and bids fair to rival the first watering-places in England, on account of the climate being so pure and bracing, rendering it a desirable winter residence. The town is situated close under the "Great Ormes Head," and bounded by a bay on the north-east and south-west sides, where the bathing-ground is both extensive and railway company have included in their Act a pier and harbour, which are now in course of formation. The landing-pier will be available at all times of tide. The whole is being executed by Mr. Bird, contractor'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
