139 Mostyn Street is now Home From Home Cooking and has always been a shop of some sort. However, there is an alleyway at the left-hand side that leads down to another building (now Club 147), I suspect this was the Livery Stables.
You can see it on Streetview here (to right of Gresham pub):

Caernarvonshire / Re: Llandudno Curzon Road

The houses in Curzon Road are a bit of a mixture. On the South-west side, you have a couple of old Victorian houses that would have been quite grand originally. On the North side, there is a long row of 3 storey terraced houses, again probably Victorian in origin, with the old Livery Stables at one end. The South-East side has a handful of houses that are 1930s.
Heres a StreetView look at Curzon Road today:

I will hopefully be going up to the St Tudnos Church in the next week or so. I will keep an eye out for any gravestone marked Perry and get a photo for you if I find it. If you would like photos of any buildings in Llandudno, just let me know.

Hi, I'm DaveR and I post on the LlandudnoLocal forum. Here's some information that might be of interest.
'Professor' Walter Beaumont was a diver, he gave regular diving exhibitions from the pierhead and, from 1895 to 1909 gave spectacular underwater displays in a glass sided tank in the Eqyptian Hall (part of the Pier Pavilion building). He was also Licencee of the Kings Head pub from 1898-1911.
In May 1903, the town council presented him with an illuminated scroll, to mark his bravery in assisting with the rescue of 113 people off Llandudno beach.
His daughter Alice, who joined the act when she was only 6, married Belgian violinist Henri Verbrughen, from the Pier Orchestra. On 16 May 1964, their daughter Gabriel Woodward, of Las Vegas, returned to Llandudno aboard the luxury cruise liner Kungsholm, for a 6 month holiday with her aunt, Maud Deacon at St Margaret's Drive, Craig Y Don, Llandudno.
