Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza 2011



Well the weather was fabulous yesterday and as you'll see from the photos Llandudno was packed with visitors thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.You can find out more about this event on http://www.victorian-extavaganza.co.uk/
 The main streets were closed for all the funfair rides and stalls.
 The good old fashioned Merry-Go-Rounds and helter skelters
 After the parade of vehicles they parked up so visitors and enthusiasts could inspect them and take photos

The promenade was part of the route so the backdrop of the sea , pier and Great Orme made it all the more spectacular.

 Several people were roaming around in traditional victorian clothing  and this added to the oveall atmosphere of the day.

 Another Victorian character looking particularly cheerfull
 The old fashioned big wheel with beautifully decorated entrance way
and finally one of the very old traction engines ( I'm sure I'll be put right if I've given it the wrong name!!!) So hopefull these pictures will give an idea of what it's like at the Extravaganza.
