EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1980s at Rhyl's Suncentre, Europe's first indoor surfing pool. Gwyn Williams and Fred Covell can be seen expertly maneuvering a fibreglass crocodile into place, adding a touch of excitement and adventure to the already popular attraction. Circa April 1984, during the heyday of family holidays in the eighties, thousands of families from across the North West and Wales flocked to this unique destination for some fun-filled aquatic adventures. The Suncentre provided an escape from everyday life as visitors indulged in thrilling water activities amidst its vibrant atmosphere. This particular moment captures not only the hard work behind-the-scenes but also showcases the creativity that went into making every visit memorable. The lifelike crocodile model adds an element of surprise and intrigue for those enjoying their time at Rhyl's Suncentre. The photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of simpler times when swimming pools were transformed into havens of joy and laughter. It encapsulates both the spirit of leisurely vacations in the 1980s and highlights how innovative attractions like Europe's first indoor surfing pool brought communities together for unforgettable experiences. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us reminisce about cherished memories made within these walls – where dreams were realized through daring dives or conquering waves – forever etched in our hearts.
