26th December
This is what was happening at Victoria Pier on the 26th December in years gone by...
| 1900 | M. Jules Riviere died aged 81 years old.
He is buried at Llandrillo-yn-Rhos Churchyard. A stained glass window in
the church commemorates him, as does a road in Colwyn Bay "Rivieres
Avenue" The Rivieres Ochestra kept his name alive, by continuing to perform at the pier twice daily. |
