Great Orme.
« on: Saturday 26 July 14 18:49 BST (UK) »
In the 1920's my mother worked half way up the Great Orme in an hotel. I think the owners names were Roberts. I was wondering if there are any photographs I could see from this time period.
Thank you.
Alexanderina.

Could it have been The Great Orme Hotel? It adjoined the then golf-club (also seems to have been called The Telegraph or Summit Hotel) and is now part of the Summit Complex but no longer an hotel

Thank you Janan and K Garrad for your input re hotel. I am delighted to see the hotel I did not realise it was so big and then I remembered my late mother said it had a large bar. I am sure it is the one on the Great Orme. Information wonderful and so quick too.
Thank you again.
Alexanderina.

My Mother went to work there as a domestic servant aged 14 from Glasgow. Wonder how she coped being away from all her family. It appeared the life was hard and she had Sunday afternoon off, In which time she her did her laundry Went to the beach before work every morning to swim in the sea.

There are some good old photos on here:

At one time, a well known boxer, by the name of Randolph Turpin, bought The Summit Hotel and operated this for some years.

My gt grandmother who lived in Llandudno town, went to stay in The Summit Hotel for a fortnight every year. She always said the air at the top of The Great Orme was beneficial to her health.
