Archives: Tourist Guides

This is our collection of Tourist Guides for Colwyn Bay. As the most prominent attraction in the town, Victoria Pier features prominently in every single one, and is pictured on the front cover of most of them.
Just like the entertainment programmes, these form a fascinating record of the development and changing face of the pier over the last century. The guides also feature many period adverts for Hotels and other businesses in Colwyn Bay, and the earlier ones contain a wealth of information on all sorts of other aspects like the town's water and electricity supplies!

Some guides were published by the Council or Trade Organisations, others by independant companies, so for some years there are probably several different guides.
Can you help fill in the gaps? Scroll down to see what years are missing, and if you have any old Tourist Guides for Colwyn Bay you could donate to the collection, especially from the years we are missing, please send them to the Pier - address here
