Parade Hotel

The Parade Hotel in Abersoch was chosen as the honeymoon destination for Leonard Swindley and Emily Nugent following their wedding in July 1964. However Emily jilted Swindley on the day, realising that such a wedding would be wrong as he never really loved her. Best man Len Fairclough helped Swindley cancel the on-going arrangements but left the ex-groom to deal with the hotel himself. Prompted by a remark from Len's that he needed a break, Swindley rang the hotel and changed the booking from a double to a single room and went there by himself, having told a rare lie to the reception desk over the phone that his "wife" had had to go to London instead.
