A set of photos of Abergele on the Flickr website - "Old photos of Abergele
and Llanddulas. All taken by, or published by, my great-grandfather
who was a postcard photographer between the late 1800's and 1930's.
I will add to this set from time to time. So keep an eye out for more
old photos." - gey_659
