Sorry Fest, not Clares, although the White Rabbit has a past connection with Clare's.   ZXZ

It is really a question for the Ladies, or should it now be Gentlemen?   ;)

Viscount Chelsea and Nick Elphick have connections, both chips off the old block!   ;D

A school dining room, I imagine? Rydal-Penrhos?

Not the imperial.  I think I better reveal this one!

It is the Junior Dining Hall at Gloddaeth Hall.
White Rabbit on this Forum attended the place when it was a Girls School.
The link to Clares is that WR's grandfather started the store as Clares.
It was a Girls School but then became a Boys as St David's College.
Nick Elphick and Viscout Chelsea are ex Pupils.

If you want more, Google is a good search engine!   :D

An easy peasy one now.  Where and what is this building?

It looks very much like the house that is in the field by Llanrhos Church and is between the two round abouts on the A470 and Conway Road

I have it on good authority, (the best in fact)... that this is Conwy Lodge, 

I have more...  It was the gatehouse for Gloddaeth Hall, and is now a Holiday Let for Mostyn Estates.

I have a funny feeling that my 'mysterious source' has done a bit of plumbing in there!   ;) ;)

Now, if I were to tell you that you were wrong, you would be a trifle upset.  However, I am pleased to say that you are 125% correct.  Ah, well back to Words.   :D

Built in 1894, now tell me what the Welsh inscription on the beam of the side you can see means?

P.s.  I did say it was easy  peasy! ;D

We used to live at Bryn Lupus and often wondered what is was like close up.
We never had the courage to go in there though.
What does the writing say?
