Is anyone able to shed any light on what business was run from 3 Chapel Street, Llandudno around 1900 please? Or anything about W J Jones, who I think lived or worked there? Thanks.

Likely to have been apartments (guest house) but will try a search on ancestry

This is an educated guess, based on the order of listings on Ancestry.
Number 3 Chapel Street appears to be "Longley House" occupied by Head of Household Catherine Jones, Widowed, age 53, Occupation Lodging House keeper, born in Holyhead.
There are two daughters Maggie 22, Assistant Lodging House Keeper and Kate 14.
There are two sons, one of whom is William J Jones age 18,Occupation, Joiner's apprentice. Arthur age 16 is a Cabinet Makers apprentice.
There are also two boarders listed. Harry Walley age 26 from Hyde, Cheshire, Occupation Masseur and Medical Electrician (Own Account) and Thomas Parry 53 from Newmarket Flintshire, Occupation Stone Mason.

the info I got was from the 1901 census

Thank you for all of your help! Please see picture below. The signature was behind the oak panelling that housed the oil paintings by Buckley Ousey in Penmorfa / Gogarth Abbey Hotel, and would have been signed around 1900 as the panels were being made and fitted.
