A rather grand affair in its heyday (no simple shelter back in the 1950s!) it has more than one face with seating located in it. As it was close to a terminus it seems a little strange that it would be so large but a tramstop was located in this vicinity and this is thought to still be there from those days. Of note it no longer seems to be the location of a bus stop either.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_38599\" style=\"width: 560px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/?attachment_id=38599\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-38599\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-38599\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-38599\" src=\"http:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/llandudnoshelter-kc-550x412.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"412\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/llandudnoshelter-kc-550x412.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/llandudnoshelter-kc-1024x767.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/llandudnoshelter-kc-768x575.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.britishtramsonline.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/llandudnoshelter-kc.jpg 1281w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-38599\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Looking a little bit sorry for itself this is the shelter on Gloddaeth Avenue in Llandudno.
