Correct Trojan. Although my dark past would seem to be coming to light if Hugo's suggestion is to be believed! (That case never made the court.) :)

And there's me thinking the Happy Valley Show was something else.  ???

You couldn't have been up there on a Saturday, as there was no show on that day.  8)

Now I am back.  Where was I when I took this shot of a horizontal Cable car?  This is the centre support of three.

1st clue:-    It's within 25 miles from Llandudno as the crow flies

2nd Clue:-      It's only easy if you know it, so this must be difficult because a certain Forum member has links with this but can't see it.

My first reaction was that it is the Clubhouse of a Golf Club and due to the surroundings probably a "links" course.   I thought it may be Prestatyn or Abergele but they don't seem likely candidates.  So I will have to have a look round and see if I can find the right one!      D)

A second thought leads me to an old picture of Heswall Golf Club but that is outside the 25 miles limit.

Yorkie must be refreshed after his hols because he's on the right course but it's not a club house so where is it and what's it called and a bonus point for guessing the most recent history of it.

A further clue that should make it very easy to track down.

The photo of the house was taken on an 18 hole Golf Links within 25 miles from Llandudno as the crow flies.
It was not and is not the Golf clubhouse but the house  is unrecognisable to that in the photo as it has altered so much?
So what's its name and location?
