Conwy (Welsh pronunciation: [ˈkɔnʊɨ]; formerly known in English as Conway) is a walled market town and community in Conwy County Borough on the north coast of Wales. The town, which faces Deganwy across the River Conwy, formerly lay in Gwynedd and prior to that in Caernarfonshire. The community, which includes Deganwy and Llandudno Junction, had a population of 14,208 at the 2001 census, and is a popular tourist destination. The population rose to 14,753 at the 2011 census. The Welsh language can be heard in widespread, casual and official usage.

Conwy Castle and the town walls were built, on the instruction of Edward I of England, between 1283 and 1289, as part of his conquest of the principality of Wales. Conwy was the original site of Aberconwy Abbey, founded by Llywelyn the Great. Edward and his troops took over the abbey site and moved the monks down the Conwy valley to a new site at Maenan, establishing Maenan Abbey. The parish church still retains some parts of the original abbey church in the east and west walls. English settlers were given incentives to move to the walled garrison town, which for decades the Welsh were forbidden from entering.

    Conwy was an electoral constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It returned one Member of Parliament (MP) by the single-member district plurality (also known as first-past-the-post) system of voting.

    The constituency was created for the 1950 general election, and abolished for the 2010 general election.

    History

    It was a marginal between the Conservative Party and the Labour Party throughout its existence.

    The Conwy Welsh Assembly constituency was created with the same boundaries as the Conwy House of Commons constituency in 1999.

    Boundaries

    The constituency was, geographically, relatively small for its region, as it followed and tended to keep to the coast, taking in parts of two separate densely populated coastal conurbations.

    As well as the walled castle town of Conwy from which it bore its name, the constituency mainly comprised the popular holiday resort and retail centre of Llandudno to the east, and the city of Bangor, which is home to the University of Wales, Bangor, to the west. It also included the smaller coastal towns of Penmaenmawr and Llanfairfechan, as well as some sparser inland areas including former slate-quarrying communities in the Ogwen Valley.

    Need Your Loving Tonight

    by: Queen

    (Album: The Game, 1980)
    "Yeah
    Hey hey hey
    No I'll never look back in anger
    No I'll never find me an answer
    You promised me, you'd keep in touch
    I read your letter and it hurt me so much
    I said I'd never, never be angry with you
    I don't wanna feel like a stranger (no)
    'Cos I'd rather stay out of danger
    I read your letter so many times
    I got your meaning between the lines
    I said I'd never, never be angry with you
    I must be strong so she won't know how much I miss her
    I only hope as time goes on I'll forget her
    My body's aching, can't sleep at night
    I'm too exhausted to start a fight
    And if I see her with another guy
    I'll eat my heart out 'cos I love, love, love, love her
    Come on baby, let's get together
    I'll love you baby, I'll love you forever
    I'm trying hard to stay away
    What made you change, what did I say ?
    Ooh I need your loving tonight
    Ooh I need your loving
    Ooh I need your loving
    Ooh I need your loving babe tonight (Hit me)
    Ooh I need your loving tonight
    No I'll never look back in anger
    No I'll never find me an answer
    Gave me no warning, how could I guess
    I'll have to learn to forgive and forget
    Ooh I need your loving
    Ooh I need your loving
