Hmmm....lot of cabling there, maybe for communications infrastructure? Those doors have been reinforced with steel panels, so probably quite an isolated location.

I'm going for the Summit Complex up on the Orme.

The Victoria Restaurant was a long established business in Llandudno, from Victorian times up to about the 1950s. But where was it?
Found this advert from 1954, looks as though the ground floor was part of the Restaurant, too:

The photograph doesn't look like it was taken in 1954 though.

G.H. Thompson had a shop underneath in the 1950's, and if you look to the right, there's no Marks & Spencer which was built in 1936.

Looks like the Craig Y Don Hotel, with the Lounge facing out onto Queens Road.

Thompson's shop was next door, where the Coffee Centre is now:

Aye, it was, or today known as The County Hotel.

Spot on again Dave, I didn't think that you would have missed that nice piece of architecture on your travels.
