This should be very easy for motorists as you will have driven past it at some time.    Can you remember where it is?       $walesflag$

In the 1960's you would have driven past this place and may have stopped here if you needed to but now you can still see it from the nearby A road

This must jog your memory if you have ever driven past it

It reminds me of one left high and dry, after the improvements to the A55  somewhere after St. Asaph ?

Well done Steve, that's the one      &well&

Before the A55 it was a really good garage and friends of ours owned it at the time so it was sad to see it in that condition when I went past in November

The reason I remember it, they got me out of bit of trouble, I needed a bit of emergency welding on my old Bedford truck, I was on my way to a County show, and it could have cost me a lot of income without their help, I always thought it was a shame that a few changes to the access could have kept their business going.

A little lower down the lane I came across this peaceful setting.    Now this photo may help?

That's a good try Steve but it's not correct.    It's near a Norman Castle but Edward 1  didn't build this one

There is a good clue on the photo of the little garden which may help

I'm afraid not Steve, your first Castle guess was much nearer, but where is it?
