This view of Rhyl beachfront looks eastwards, and is shot from the balcony of the Pavilion theatre. In addition to the grand seafront dwellings, we see landmark buildings - the café (also in 'Rhyl May Day 1920'), the Amphitheatre (its entrance flanked by two tall towers) and the bandstand. The summer-clad crowd seems to be gravitating landwards, perhaps after enjoying some entertainment.
