The new owners of the Rhos Fynach pub in Rhos are seeking to reinstate the popular crazy golf course that was removed in 1990:

That would be a good move for them I'm sure, I always thought there was a lot of wasted space there.
I also remember swimming in the ice cold  outdoor pool behind the pub. A bit tatty but a seaside amenity. I cant remember the year it closed.
I hope when the Rhos point is rebuilt the character of that area is kept with the Old pierhead.

You are on the spot there Linda. I swam there during holidays in the late 50s early 60s and it was the coldest pool I had ever swum in ! Brrr :o

New owners of The Rhos Fynach?   I always thought that was a brilliant, but under utilised pub.
I used to pop in for a pint regularly between 2002 and 2010, but it was never busy to its full potential.
But I thought it was owned by CCBC?  Are CCBC now selling off such assets to private enterprise?
If so, there are a few I wouldn't mind bidding for!

As we know, mate, the supposedly 'cash strapped' CCBC won't sell off surplus property assets preferring to leave them derelict, e.g. Rhos Point.

The long lease of the Rhos Fynach was sold to the company that owns the Oriel House Hotel in St Asaph a few months ago. CCBC retains the Freehold.

   Anyone know what is wrong with the roof of the Little Chapel?   Seen from a distance it appears to have something blue covering the roof. Not a tarpaulin. Mike

When we passed earlier this week we spotted a sign saying that it was closed for repairs, but it didn't specify what kind.

Great pics Neil. We saw the rainbow coming the other way, on the back road into Conwy. Didn't manage a pic though. Too busy negotiating the huge puddles in the road ! :D

Hello Nemeses,   I just spotted your name and in the Rhos on Sea thread. Just read what you had to say, but whilst I'm here this is a question I've been meaning to ask for years.
   The forum has many members with a variety of skills. So does anyone know where I should go to try and find details about a particular book.
Title unknown. Author unknown. All I know is that it is fiction, but maybe parts of it are based on possible facts.
    I read it when I was very, very young. It is based in Rhos, fictionally probable around 500 years ago. As far as I can remember it is really a book of two halves.  The first half was all about Rhos Ffynach, Llys Euryn, tunnels, smugglers, monks and adventure with a big A, all set in Rhos.
   The second half was more romantic, Mills and Boon style, I dont recall but it was something about a pirate falling in love, kissing hands etc.etc.
  That is why I don't know the name, I never read it right through. As an adventurist ten year old the first half was right up my street, but the second half I lost interest and the book was left, forgotten.
   Anyone any ideas? I've never heard anything about it, anywhere. But I dont think I dreamt it.   Mike
