It is the Grand Theatre, well done Bri!  $good$

The Colwyn Bay  building was called Dandos for many years, it was a toy shop.

So many people have gone past it that I thought that it was too easy and would have gone by now.       It must be harder than I thought?

No guesses?       I had to crop the photo as Gwynant would have known straight away but can say that I took the photo on the Great Orme yesterday.
Hope that helps.

It's on the roof of the Elm Tree Hotel on North Parade

A few years back when some new owners moved in to the All Seasons Hotel they reported the hut to the Council, because when they viewed the Hotel it wasn't there. After the Council questioned Willy who owned the Elms at the time, they were surprised to find out the hut had been put up in 1934.

I thought that you would get that one Blongb, well done.     $good$

I took the photo from the lower slopes of the Great Orme at the rear of the building

I'm amazed then that it has survived the battering of the gales for the last 80 odd years!   :o

I wonder what it's used for, it looks pretty awful.

It's got the hot water header tank and the lift winding gear in it but I'm sure the later is a fairly recent installation.

Now that was the easy bit Meleri,  no points for that guess,  but where exactly would you expect to find a sandbank by your front gate?

I'll put everyone out of their misery and give myself the point.    It's in Abbey Road and way past St David's Hospice and in front of some nice detached houses in the street.
I've always liked those properties and would have liked to have moved there at one time but not any more after seeing what has happened.

The only reason I posted the cropped photo was for the benefit of cynics and sceptics alike, we do have a problem there.
