This authentic 1970s colour photograph documents the busy tourist thoroughfare of Holyhead Road in Betws-y-Coed, Gwynedd, Wales, in 1977. The image provides a factual record of the village’s traditional stone-built architecture, featuring the Fairhaven Hotel with its prominent cafe and “Bed & Breakfast” signage in the foreground. In the background, the historic Royal Oak Hotel and The Welsh Wool Shop (Anna Davies) are documented. The street scene captures a variety of period cars typical of the late 1970s, including a dark green Ford Cortina Mark IV (registration PML 716R) and a grey Mini (KYL 265D) parked along the stone wall. Pedestrians in contemporary 1970s attire are seen walking past the flower-lined terraces, illustrating the enduring popularity of this Snowdonia National Park destination. The composition highlights the integration of commercial tourism within the rugged landscape of North Wales. As a self-contained archival record, this shot serves as an essential resource for local historians and collectors of vintage Welsh street scenes and automotive photography.
