Sorry Hugo, not near the A470.  Not on a main road (it's on a yellow one on the OS 1:50000 map) - it is in Conwy County - just!  Further pic tonight!

Well Postman Pat may be able to find it but I haven't got a clue.     

Is it to the east of the AS on the Denbigh moors?

You're heading the right way if you go east - nowhere near an A road.  It is between two small villages.

Another pic, moved out a bit.  Ignore the orange arrow on the signpost, that was my doing in relation to why I was there (think classic cars and another post I put up in the Cars thread!)

The next one will be the last pic and will give it away, but that'll be tomorrow!

I think it is between Henllan and LLannefydd at a little crossroads at Cefn Berain.

Well done Hollins - perfectly correct.  Sorry Hugo, you really tried hard!

I was running a checkpoint there for the Pilgrim Tour last Saturday,  No idea what the "artwork" was about.

Well done Nemesis         &well&

We had a short walk in Criccieth yesterday and it was the first time that I have been inside the castle, some great views from up there.

This is a very easy question for a Sunday afternoon.            $walesflag$

It's so easy that I'll only give one clue:-
" Many people will want to go to this place but not many wanted to go to the building it replaced"

So where and what was the previous building on the site?

Is that the old North Western Hotel. Its OK I can not sleep.

Just wondering , was it owned by London North Western Railway in the past ?
