Back to quizzing!
Where is this and for what is it famous or infamous?

Although this beautiful Church is about 70 miles away it reminds me of home in the Three Towns area in the 1960's.    I wonder why?   $walesflag$

 :-}}}          $booboo$

Just checked Google and the place is in England!!        It didn't sound English to me though so it must be a little bit of Wales in England.

The connection that made me think of the Three Towns is in a wide road, but it isn't really!        ???  ???                $walesflag$

If you guess the name of the building in the street that has a name that sounds like a wide road then you will have found out part of the name of this Welsh sounding English village.      ???      ???

The village shares part of its name with a building in this wide road in the Three Towns triangle  and this building is no longer a home.

It must be hard if there have been no guesses and I suppose Yorkie has been on the beach all day.     $good$

Some more photos of this picturesque village and if no one has had a guess then I'll reveal part of the name tomorrow

This small Shropshire border village has a Welsh name.      Part of that name can be seen on the front of a building in Llandudno Junction

Look at the clues again and the answer should be easy:-

                                                 Wide Road?
                  this building is no longer a home

If you have found the name then you are half way there, all you need is the other half to give it its full name. 

If no one has had a guess by the next time I am on here then I'll reveal part of the name     :)

             I have been following your clues Hugo, and I travelled up and down Broad St. in Junction and Mostyn Broadway (on Google Streetmaps!) after yesterdays hint but have found nothing. The only link I have found is two villages in Shropshire named Porth-y-Waen and Treflach just outside Oswestry (74.3 miles away, and just over the English-Welsh border), which have a connecting road a road named Blodwel Bank, the same name as the old Blodwel Home in Junction.

Gwynant, with your help we have found a LLanyblodwell Church that looks rather like Hugo's photos.
