Dylan's Pizzeria?
Correct! On the shores of the Menai Straits at Menai Bridge. A very pleasant place to enjoy a meal.

You don't have to go far to travel under the bridge but where is it?

         It's on the B5381  Glan Conwy Corner - Betws-yn- Rhos road just after you start up the hill from the Black Cat roundabout.

           Sorry about that Hugo! I just happened to be using that road earlier this week so it rang a bell! 
    Now where is this rock situated? It is also not very far away from the 3 town's area but I think it looks as  if it 
     could be on Easter Island.

Just a wild guess, is it on the cycle route by the Penmaenbach tunnel?

               We'll call that a 1-1 draw then Hugo after the last question!  It is exactly there, but it can only be seen by cyclists or walkers actually on the cycle route or the beach as the A55 goes through the tunnels there.

I don't think this one will last very long either but you can but try!
Where will you find this memorial?

Well done DaveR. Correct.
The red strips were leftovers from the Manchester United celebrations on Monday night.

That banner looks like its hanging from the Midland Hotel, the northern equivalent of the Midland Grand Hotel at St. Pancras. The same architect, Giles Gilbert Scott, designed Hafodunos at Llangernyw, in the same Italian gothic style:

It's a different building on the corner of Albert Square. I think it is a restaurant now but I can't remember the name of it.
I didn't know about the architect so thanks for that info.

Oh yes!  :-[ The Memorial Hall, designed by Thomas Worthington, in the Venetian Gothic style.
