Spot on, Mike, well done. Coed Coch is the home of Harry Featherstonehaugh, a local landowner and farmer.

Another North Wales river passes under these two bridges in the same village. What is the name of the river and the village?

Well done Jack. A lovely place for lunch, either a picnic or in the Black Lion pub.

However it did look a bit different in November 2012.

Didn't you mention that you were having a roast dinner in the Black Lion in Llanfair TH and the flood water came in through the kitchen but the good news was that they had already served your dinner so you were able to carry on eating?
Was that the same flood because I know that you've had a few there over the years?

Well remembered Hugo. Yes, that did happen to us but that was a previous occasion and that time it was the culvert at the back of the village that caused the problem and not the river.

It is in Bangor and looks like an old school built in 1868 it's opposite Aldi and near the Bangor bus stops.    ;)

I'm sure I've been inside and it was getting developed into flats ( if not then it must be that the flats were next door)

I think they may be Almshouses.

     Well done to J.Roberts and Hugo, it is Llain Deiniol in Bangor on the A5 and it comprises 24 flats built into and behind the old school facade. I asked a few people about the previous history and no body seemed to know, but the pictures seem to indicate an infant school.
