I'll try my usual wild guess of a Cafe that I have not, as yet, frequented but I am told is worth a visit.

Caffi Gloriosa, West End, Colwyn Bay.
Sorry, not the correct answer. You're a few miles away, in fact.  ;)

How's about Tricia's Cafe and Gillie's Plaice in Colwyn Bay?   Never been there either!   ;D

Me neither, hence it's neither of those places. A clue is that it is within the town of Conwy......

Well, I suppose I can give it to you, Cambrian.  ;) Yes, you're right, and it is called Amelies - very good it is too!

I'll repeat my little local poser:   

What was the name of Clare's Department Store before it became Clare's?   ££$

For a bonus point in what year did the name change?   :D

And for a whole bundle of extra points what was the store slogan of the previous owners?    D)

Well done!   The slogan across the fascia of the shop was "The Customer Always First".    &well&

Is it one of the jewellers? Goldsmiths on Mostyn Street?

(The handle would look better with brass slotted screws rather than stainless pozis  :roll:)

Well Done, Jack, it is indeed Goldsmiths in Mostyn St, formerly Wartskis.
