Hello Ruth. More info from the www.olle.co.uk site forum: On the 1901 census which would have taken place in April, Ashby manor Lloyd street was the home of Diana Hughes, originally from Monmouth, Usk. her Occupation was Boarding house keeper. The other five occupants were servants and visitors. One of the visitors was a Nurse possibly the companion of one Fanny Rickets a photographer from Welshpool. It's possible that people visited Llandudno and stayed at boarding houses for health reasons - the sea air and bathing was said to have healing properties at the time! At a different time the house may have been a Convalescent home of which there seem to have been a few in Llandudno. The properties mentioned on the same page are Caradoc House, Brinkburn House, Maelgwyn Hotel, Bodnod House,Westminster Hotel, Central Hotel and the New Town Hall as well as the Welsh Wesleyan Chapel. As there are many large houses in the Lloyd Street area it would be difficult to find out which one was Ashby Manor if it has since been renamed - the name suggests it might be a fairly grand place. The Brinkburn and the Bodnod were amalgamated alongside several other hotels to become the Ambassador hotel. This might indicate that Ashby Manor has amalgamated with another hotel at some point, or might be one of the large buildings that now incorporate the shops leading away from the St Georges and the one opposite (The Queens?) This link gives an excellent potted history of what is now The Ambassador http://www.hotelambassador.co.uk/historyhotel.html Hope this is helpful. Heddwch Mike.
