            Sorry Martin and Mull, neither of you is right on either location, in fact the P&O logo is a bit of a red herring?

                     After looking again at the photo which accompanies my recent question I realise that after offering the two ferryports in the area as answers, (although Holyhead is more than 25 miles away), there is nothing further in the photo which gives any further positive clue as to it's whereabouts. So here are a couple of pointers:- The vessel is named after a famous old Welshman (long dead), and is usually berthed at a location which is within 100m. of a recent (within the last 15 days) location of a question on the other Quiztime thread.   $walesflag$   ££$

Thanks for the clues Gwynant.
Is it the Prince Madog research vessel from Bangor University?
I think we saw it when we were walking from Beaumaris recently.

          $good$   You're dead right Hollins, it was tied up alongside Porthaethwy Pier when we had a very enjoyable walk over, then under. and back over the Menai Bridge yesterday.

Where will you find this etched into a grade II listed building within 15 miles of Llandudno?

The stonework and distance from Llandudno fits Llanfairfechan but I haven't a clue where exactly it is and I'm still looking.    ???

I knew this one as well DaveR but won't spoil the guessing. A fine building for £35K. What put you off?
