This building was originally part of a larger one. What was the original building and where is it?

A very easy one for the evening. Where do these steps in N Wales go to?       $walesflag$

I know where they lead from but I didn't realise there was anything down the steps, I thought they were just ornamental.

Where are the steps then SDQ?     I did say that it was easy but you were very quick, that's if you're correct.     :)

I should perhaps have said "where do the steps lead up to"  to make it clearer, sorry SDQ

                     Do they lead up to Plas Maenan Country House?

They do indeed Gwynant, so well done.    &well&      I think SDQ knew too but didn't spill the beans when he posted.

I popped in there for a coffee and had it on the verandah which overlooks the Carneddau.       $cofffee$

            Where would you find this pub in the North Wales area, and what is it also known as?

It looks familiar to me but I can't place it.  I expect that it's on the bus route and you did come down from your last walk by the Bangor Rugby Club so I'll do a pub crawl in that area and see if I can find it.      Z**

                 You're in the wrong area, Hugo, although you were right about it being on the route of my walk this week. This pub is located where the workers "below stairs" might have had a drink after work and is situated within 30-35 miles of Llandudno. It is also in a district which has another notable mural locally -----?

The only mural I can think about is on the ship in Mostyn but I know most of the pubs there.    I'll think about this again.    ?{}?     Z**

        Not the Mostyn area, Hugo.  The workers who might would have had a drink in this pub on their way home from their work in the nearby area "below stairs" might have been tempted to put the cost of their beer "on the slate". The pub is also known by another name, "Y Tap" is a local nickname because the beer taps were always in use.
