EDITORS COMMENTS
I. . Jack Beynon of California with Leslie Salts on the balcony of Randy's Bar, capturing a moment in time at the majestic Gwrych Castle on the Great Orme in Llandudno, North Wales. This iconic castle holds a rich history that dates back to its sale in 1946 to Mr. Leslie Salts, who opened its doors to the public for two decades. With its enchanting beauty and captivating allure, Gwrych Castle became known as 'the showplace of Wales, ' attracting nearly ten million visitors during this period. In this nostalgic print from July 1953, we witness Jack Beynon and Leslie Salts enjoying a leisurely moment on the balcony of Randy's Bar within the castle grounds. The image exudes an air of elegance and charm against the backdrop of this historic architectural marvel. However, as fate would have it, Gwrych Castle faced challenges in later years when it was sold to a property developer from California in 1989. Over sixteen years under absentee ownership, neglect took hold as roofs collapsed, ceilings crumbled, and floors gave way. This photograph serves as both a testament to Gwrych Castle's former glory and a reminder of its subsequent decline. It encapsulates not only personal memories but also reflects upon larger themes such as preservation efforts for historical landmarks like castles while highlighting their significance within local traditions.
