EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this photograph of the Great Orme Tramway in Llandudno, Conwy, Wales, dating back to the 1910s. The Great Orme Tramway, a heritage railway and popular tourist attraction, is nestled between the historic seaside town of Llandudno and the picturesque Colwyn Bay in Caernarfonshire. This vintage image showcases the tramway's quaint wooden cars, pulled by powerful horses, as they make their way up the steep incline of the Great Orme, a limestone headland renowned for its natural beauty and rich history. The rugged terrain and lush greenery of the Orme provide a stunning backdrop to the scene, as the horses and their passengers navigate the winding tracks. The Great Orme Tramway, opened in 1912, was once an essential mode of transportation for locals and visitors alike, providing access to the summit of the Orme, where the Victorian-era Great Orme Summit Complex and various attractions, such as the Victorian-era Great Orme Tram Station and the Great Orme Copper Mines, could be found. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when horse-drawn trams were the primary means of exploring the natural wonders of the Great Orme. Today, the tramway remains a cherished piece of history, offering visitors a unique and unforgettable experience as they journey back in time and take in the breathtaking views of the Conwy coastline.
