At last I am getting round to putting facts together after our flying visit to North Wales.
Been a hectic time after our return home, which has included 2 searches for missing people. One was all the way over Linlithgow for a day searching for the gentleman in the news this morning whose body was found in his own house after 4 weeks missing.
First of all I owe a big thank you to Hugo, Helig, Philmac, Cambrian and others for everything you have found out for me.
It was nice to meet up with Hugo who showed us around the archives in Llandudno then took us around Brookes Street, Jubilee Street,
Glanwydden Burial Ground and Penrhynside. Also thank you for introducing us to Home from Home in Penrhyn Bay. We came back for our evening meal there enjoyed it so much we returned again for our last evening. Food and service ,First class.
After Penrhynside we returned to the archives and I took the opttttunity to look at the ownership of Tan y wal, Penrhynside from 1884 onwards.

This is the last record in Llandudno archives.
On 12 July 2017 Tan Y Wal with planning permission for a 3 bedroom bungalow on the adjoining land was sold at auction for £152,000.
Planning permission for a bungalow on the site has been on going for a number of years but no work has been carried out yet apart from demolishing a section of wall to gain access off the lane.
If you read though the restrictions imposed by the council on access etc you wonder how they will be able to get heavy plant and equipment on to the site given the tight clearances through the village and along the lane.
In the meantime the old Grade 2 listed cottage is empty and in need of some TLC.
Thats all for today must take Fly out for a run.
