The Sun Centre was built here in 1980, and later nearby was the third site for the Pavilion Theatre.
Initially the Sun Centre was an advanced leisure centre with a wave pool, and an overhead monorail.
The centre was closed in 2014, many years after its anticipated lifespan. |

Rhyl Pier
Built 1867, originally 2355 feet long, with a pier railway and steamers to Liverpool. One ship removed 180 feet of pier in 1883. By 1913 the pier was derelict and closed,
Reduced to a mere 330 feet (as seen here) it reopened in 1930 but closed on safety grounds in 1966, and was demolished 1973. |
