More about this scene
In March 1283 Edward I ordered Conwy Castle to be built and a burgh established. His choice of site was deliberate: here was the royal hall of Llywelyn the Great and the Cistercian Abbey of St Mary where he lay buried. The castle had high curtain walls studded with massive drum towers; the King's apartments and Presence Chamber were in the inner ward.

I think the motor yacht in the centre of this photo [outer row, single mast with 3 visible portholes on the starboard side] is the White Aster II which belonged to my grandfather Walter Robinson Handforth. The same vessel appears in the Marine drive photo taken in "c.1955". White Aster was sold by my family in 1954. Chris Handforth
