This post pulls together pairs of pictures that have not appeared here before. Firstly, the statue that now stands with its back to the sea in the Garden of Remembrance, is shown below in its two previous positions.
The other card shows the statue in its second home, just west of the pier and Amphitheatre, close to the top of High Street and again facing the sea. It is postmarked 1932.

The following shots were taken in 2013 by Yours Truly.
Marks & Spencer at 63 High Street, Rhyl, closed down in March 2013.

SAT 18th JUL 2015 UPDATE: While we are thinking in pairs,
how about these two images from Rhyl History Club showing men at work?
The first is a 1966 shot of demolition in High Street between
Boots chemist and Marks & Spencer. Second is a 1955 shot of the Woolworth building being erected on corner of High Street and East Parade (now
B&M):
We think of the Woolworth/B&M building as being in High
Street but its address is actually 1-7 East Parade.
