I read on teletext last night that the current owner is planning to sell the pier by auction on the internet
Apparantly, he bought it a few years back and has re-opened parts of the pier. He wanted to open the old ballroom as a casino but had planning permission refused due to fire regulations. He has now had enough of the red tape and wants to sell
I remember Colwyn Bay being a really bustling place as a kid. There used to be rides on the prom - go karts, trampolines, coin cars (the type that you could never steer properly and used to bump into the sides) !! etc and a miniature railway. Also a really good arcade on the pier. Not much left now but the beach still seems to attract a good few people
