The brickwork looks like the station.
Only a wild guess--The Broadway?Wrong end of town, I'm afraid. It's close to a few other bars and clubs though. ;)
It's the photographer on Upper Mostyn Street. I'm not sure of the name of the gallery but I think it's something like "Image Gallery."...is the correct answer! :D
I'll see if I can see anything interesting to test the readers while I'm pootling about in my cab.Yes, please do, the more the merrier. It'll have to be pretty obscure to escape the eagle eyes of Steve though. D)
Newsagents---Madoc Street????Yep, it's the old Waverley/Red News on Madoc Street. :)
I've got "The Tree Towns" to work with now Dave. Steve's book only covers Llandudno!
Curiously, I've never seen him and Trojan in the same room either.
Which business in Llandudno would like you to relax....?
Alpine CoachesYou got it! Its the advertising board attached to the railings by the Pier Entrance:

Is there an Emoticon that shows me ''kicking myself''? I see that bluddy Alpine Coaches sign every day ...I also knew that the passage to the promenade had been blocked off (Ivor Wynne Davies book again!!)
Now ...why is this thread in Times Past ?? Come on lets have it ... you moderators are usually so logicalin these matters.
Having said that, I remember what happened the last time we had a ''re-organisation'' on the old forum !! Y^^Y
Where in central Llandudno will you find the remains of this mosaic floor?
I suppose it could be in 'Ask A Local', I'll move it there. :)
Clonmel Street?Correct! Its the clothes shop cross the road to the Alex pub.
Is it on the plateau area just above Ardwy Orme?
Hmmm, a pub that Trojan frequents...we're better start looking at the lower end of the market. _))*
Looks a bit smart for the Links Hotel though. ;D
Maybe one in the Upper Mostyn Street area? The London? Gresham?
Maybe up at the Summit? ;D
Parker's Welsh Rock Shop?
Only one thing gave it away easily, the pink paint on the window frames. Should have cropped it a little harder, my friend! ))*

It used to be a Coal distributors office. by Gordon's Garage, behind the Neville.
This is an interesting one. Is that Conwy Mountain in the background? Is this somewhere at the base of Cwm Mountain? Looks like the Allotments at the end of Cwm Howard Lane??
The Llandudno Allotment Association, run by Charlotte Wilde?
Is this at Great Orme Copper Mines?
Oh, the Vivian Shaft! _))* 470 feet deep.
the back of the old r a club and the old national milk bar [passage way to the side of the vic centre ]Well Done, Norman! :) Yes it's the back of what is now Cafe Express in Reform Street
I can't resist this, maybe it was the Freemasons. D) D) D)
Bit late, Mate , it's been answered. ))* Water Gardens and Fishing place at Rowen. The animal type is correct though! )*)&
Now that the forum covers a far larger geographic area, it's probably a good idea for the person posting a question to say which one of the three towns it is in.
Is this in Llandudno?

Where exactly on the Orme are they Yorkie?
I've seen them for the first time myself today, although I;ve walked walked in the area before.
It's not the Grand Theatre, I'm afraid. ::)
This is the Grand's Ceiling:

there was a bar in the Grand Hotel with a Roman Theme, can't recall the name, it could be accessed from the Pier. That's my guess.
Dave I was just nodding off last night when Caesar's Palace popped up in my mind. Strange how the sub concious mind keeps on working on a problem. Sorry to interrupt the thread. ???
Llandudno Field Club?
The chaps what built the Great Orme tram track etc. on which they are standing! ££$
I don't know WHO they are, (well not all of them anyway)
But I know exactly WHERE they are.
They are in coffins in various graveyards.... and have been for at least 60 years.
Do I take the prize? L0L
Some are wearing Bow Ties, are they Freemasons laying the foundations of the Masonic Hall? ;D
How about the Llandudno Improvement Commissioners?
I take it the answer is Llandudno related? ?{}?
Are they down in the Conwy Valley, at the lakes that supplied Llandudno's water supply from 1880? Dulyn and Melinllyn?
Above Just Jents' Trinity buildings?....is the correct answer. Well Done Mike. :)
Dead Man's Handle? ££$
Clue: you'll find it on an island... ££$
Horse Trough, Augusta St. :D
Interesting, an old church that has been converted into 3 or 4 flats. Are we still in Llandudno, mate? :)
It's Ysgol Bodafon in Bodafon Lane. Nice one Trojan, I've been thinking where it was all afternoon and only just realised.
Hmmm I know this one but I'm saying nothing! :D
It's not outside an old Church Trojan but perhaps the owner should have gone to Parkhurst too!Indeed!
It was an ironmongers in Upper Mostyn Street next door to Pritchard's Lilac Cafe. Not sure what it is now there's so many cafes and bars up there.Spot on, Llechwedd, it is now Pars Restaurant. Can you remember if the Lilac Cafe was on the left or right of it?
1878?Correct! :D
Ysgol Morfa, in Cwm RoadI'm afraid not. You'd need to be over more in the West Shore direction.
Google Street view tells me it is Aberconwy Car and Van Hire, but they seemed to have changed the window since Google went by! ZXZ ZXZCorrect! D)
Next to the Habit ??? ?{}?Very, very close...but not quite right. :twoface:
Flats above Subway which is No. 16 ZXZCorrect! ZXZ
Flats above Subway which is No. 16 ZXZCorrect! ZXZ
[I should have known that..(kicking myself) ... because I took a look around those flats when they were first for sale 4 years ago,You should have seen some of the ones I've been round in Colwyn Bay!! Every window either smashed or boarded up, kitchen and bathroom had been completely removed to stop squatters - it's an eye opener alright. Even at £10,000, it wasn't worth touching. :o
They were in the most disgusting state ... people were living in at least one of them in total squalor, and I could not believe that any Estate Agent would dare to show a prospective buyer around in conditions like that.
I think the one in question is still the one I viewed.... its VAST inside, and was originally up for £139k.It's the First Floor Flat in this pic:
It might have since been sub-divided , but I have no knowledge of that ..
All I know is I wouldn't live in it if you paid ME ! :puke2: :puke2:
Above which Organisation will you find this disused office?
Where will you find this unusual object?Turning the pic upside down isnt going to fool me, mate. Its the statue of the Goat up at the Great Orme Visitor Centre. :twoface:
BTW Nemesis, we went to Stapeley Water Gardens yesterday and I was surprised to see them selling Nemesis fireworks. Is that what you get up to in that shed at the back of your place then?

Halfway Winding House, on the Orme?
Vaughan Street, now James Paynes' premises 8)Bah, I was hoping this one would run for a while! :( Well done, Sue!
Are we running this two questions at once ? Or is old age getting to me?What's the other one, the Oriel Mostyn? You got that right:
No this one!It's the correct boat but it doesn't give the reason why it would cause a big problem! That reason was that it collided with the Pierhead and demolished several piles. Everyone was worried that it would completely demolish the end of the pier but, fortunately, it then actually passed under the Pier without causing any further damage as it was blown ashore.
The WILLIAM AND HENRY was a 35nt wooden schooner built in 1839 and registered at Dublin. At time of loss on 8 January 1908, the vessel was owned by S E Pim & Co of Wicklow and under the command of T Doyle. The schooner was carrying a cargo fo salt and had sought the shelter of the anchorage in Llandudno Bay, It was caught by a north-northwesterly force 9 gale and blown ashore.

Trinity Church ?
:o :o :o Brilliant question Dave.... BUT... I fear it might happen again!
You see that large vessel The Galatea is moored just off the Pier head tonight .... and those gales might make history repeat itself !!
SPOOOOKY !!
:o :o :o
I'm sure someone said it's working for Trinity House, Bri, renewing buoys and suchlike?
OK - So lets try something a little more difficult: Where is this smart dining room?
Oh.. now I remember, its at the top of the Ski Slope, at Ski Llandudno.Fester takes the prize this time. &well&
As you walk up the path behind The Alpine Ski Lodge..(Yummm) ....and reach the top before the concrete steps, its there beside the toboggan track.

It was easy - I just put in a search for Princes Theatre, Llandudno and up popped Oscar's Blog for October 2009 with the picture and a full description!! I then went to Google Street View and had a look just to check.I think you'll find it was my blog, not Oscar's, Yorkie. :D
Even my Mrs who is from this area couldn't help me! :P
you are right Yorkie, it's 72 Mostyn Street! Trojan the question asks for the location of the building but as the Princes Theatre is no longer there, the building is not next door to it! :P
Adjusted my post and now given full credit to you - sorry, I should have been more careful! :DNo problem, Oscar would never have material of such quality on his blog! :P :o ;D
Ok, for an extra prize, from where did the Zaloudeks originate?
Where was The Playhouse and what is it now?You got one!
I expect an answer within about 10 minutes of posting! ££$
Pendragon takes the prize this time, it is just outside the Mens Toilets in Wetherspoons. ;DNot that I loiter outside mens loos...........I just want to make that clear ;D
Church on the corner of Chapel St and Gloddaeth??I'm afraid, not, it's not a Church.
My final go is Lorretto.Your final go is correct! +}}{-- &well&
A place I have never been into - Broadway Boulevade $walesQuite correct. And if anyone has ever wondered what the view is like from one of those towers:
Ever noticed the huge crack in the side of the building?Yes, on the side facing LSP. When I was inside that area, I noticed that some work had been carried out inside to brace the building.
Would that be the one in Happy Valley above the old reservoir and near the Headlands Hotel?I'm afraid not, Hugo. A clue - Top Putt Golf is inside.
Sounds to me like an arcade game so I'll try the Royal Arcade next to Barclays BankYou're on the right lines but not in the right place....
Golden goose?Well done!
None - they are all modern reproductions! Z**It's not a trick question! They are all originals (albeit refurbished several years ago) and are Listed Grade II by CADW, as are all the other original street lamps in town.
Is it one of those new lamps on Maesdu Bridge?You're in my bad books for guessing it so quickly! ¢¢## Well Done, Hugo! ;D
Roof of one of the hotels on the bottom side of Hill Terrace?Indeed, but which one, Nem? ;)
I can now reveal that the winner is.......Merddin Emrys, with his guess of 63. The actual number is 66:
http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-3477-sixty-six-lamp-standards-llandudno (http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/wa-3477-sixty-six-lamp-standards-llandudno)
&well&
Was it graffiti on the wall of the Conwy morfa railway tunnel? ???Yes! Written in proper red paint (as opposed to spray paint), 'Chimp Loves Bray' is on the right-hand stone pillar of the bridge as you leave Conwy. It must date back to the 1960s, has been seen by probably millions of car drivers and is still visible (just about) today. I wonder if Chimp still loves Bray or did it all go sour? Does anyone know who they are?
The Hydro??Now, this is a bit tricky because...I don't actually know the answer! I have a suspicion where it might have been and that's the Ballroom in the Winter Gardens/Astra. Can anyone confirm/deny? ;D
Grand Hotel Z**
You can see the Cenotaph through the window.
Who drove their car across the river off Degany when it was frozen over in the Winter of 1962??You?!

Golf
Public Baths - Washing type, not swimming! ££$
was this the town library before the more ornate building was put there?Yes, it was Llandudno's first Public Library! Looks a little different today but those same trees are still there:
What are you doing with that golf ball in your possession? Dont you realise that pocketing golf balls deprives us golf club owners out of a pint of beer---we have to settle for a half LOL
GreenwoodsNo, I'm afraid not, Greenwoods was the Bunneys Building.
Is it Burtons? Built in 1934?Nay, Lad.
It looks like the Ascot (not sure if the name is correct) in Craig Y Don. It was knocked down and the flats were built instead on the corner of the promenade and Carmen Sylva Road.Quite right, Hugo. The house was called Ascot and the faintly hideous block of flats that replaced it is called Ascot Court.
Looks like the Bedford Hotel in the background
Dancing?That's amazing......was that a guess?
Oakely Doakely...............was it used..........for NOT dancing D)Correct! It was actually used as offices but for who?
Halifax Building Society.My clue seems to have misfired. It wasn't a reference to a financial organisation. :(
Mostyn Estates - Z** and if it's not that I give up ZXZNo need to give up, you are correct. This building was the original Estate Office for Mostyn Estates - whatever possessed them to demolish it, I don't know, it's a great looking building. Mostyn Estates then moved to their first floor offices on Mostyn Broadway (above the Doctors) and, a few years ago, to their current offices at 2 Mostyn Street.
Is it the hotel on the promenade once owned by Mac Day and rebuilt as Crescent Court (or a similar name) as apartments ?Correct! It was this hotel which was demolished and rebuilt as poorly designed flats, a move that triggered the designation of large parts of central Llandudno as a Conservation Area.
Guildhall, Rosehill Street.Correct! :)
Inside the Pier building isn't it? ?{}?Nay, lad. Ponder some more.
Four Oaks in Eirias Park?Wow, that's a blast from the past, Bri! No, it's not it, I'm afraid. This photos was taken only recently.... ;)
its the imperial hotel,sadly goneCorrect! Sounds like you've been in there once or twice?
OK - side view of the Hydro then.You've been at the Streetview again! Correct answer!
Back of the Clarence?...is the correct answer. What a mess it looks.
Entrance to 'Bog Island' toiletsVery good, Stan. :)
By the look of it I would suggest the Local Probation Offices! ZXZSome would say that you're not far wrong but, no, it's not any sort of Council or Govt building.
Took me a while but The Washington seems to be the answer! D)Indeed, it is the front door of the Washington nightclub on Llandudno promenade. &well&

Bottom of Station Road to the Promenade and Pier. )*)&Hmmmm......not quite the correct answer, although you're certainly in the right area. The tunnel linked a facility and a building.....
I was hoping the fact the doors were closed would throw people off the scent, Paddy! L0LTook me a while but The Washington seems to be the answer! D)Indeed, it is the front door of the Washington nightclub on Llandudno promenade. &well&
I've been parked outside it a gazzillion times in my cab but I never recognised it because it's always open when I'm there!
A quick guess, Ticket Office to the Platform(s).Well, that's half the answer, so good enough, I guess. The tunnel was part of a private passageway that linked the Railway Station at Colwyn Bay with the original Colwyn Bay Hotel, so that the Guests did not have to associate with mere mortals. The tunnel remains in situ today, although it is sealed off. You can see the entrance above the Public Toilets on the Rhos side of the Pier.
Quick guess - The disused Railway Line to Trawsfynydd (originally the Blaenau Ffestiniog-Bala Line)That's not it, I'm afraid, the answer lies in the Conwy area...
Just before the railway brige over the River Conway, on the junction side. Leads to the old dockBrianP takes the prize! It is the old LNWR Quay Siding, just to the side of the main line by the Conwy railway bridge. Used originally for shipping out goods by boat (including, for a short time, aluminium from the newly opened works at Dolgarrog), it then remained in use as Carriage Sidings for many years until the sidings were removed in the 1980s but the line down to the Quay remains, along with an old LNWR crane on the Quay itself. I've seen people walking on the Quay bit but have no idea how they got there, unless by boat?
Led to the old goods yard and loco sheds and the 6G motive power depot (which closed in 1966). This and the former adjoining goods yard now have been redeveloped, but the new flyover road across the site bears the name 6G.
No lamposts
Derelict Chapel, Woodlands Road West.Yes! Recently sold, for just £60,000 I believe.
Is it Elim Pentecostal?
Where in central Colwyn Bay would you find this abandoned, litter strewn, former Church?
Grand HotelBarbiroli sneaks in to take the prize! Well done!

65 Mostyn Street (now Edinburgh Woollen Mill)Correct! It seemed very popular in its time.

I've never been up there for a meal though, has anyone from the forum?

What do you reckon it's for, coal?
I thought it may be for coal, I only saw it for the first time last week, I was interested by the name 'Coalbrookdale' cast on it. There's lots of interest in the back passages of llandudno D)
My OH says it was for coke delivery as the central heating boiler was in the basement at that point.
You know too much Trojan
Only joking Trojan :-*
Mowbray Rd?
Aberconwy House, Conwy......I believe, Just near to the most excellent Conwy Popty Bakery.Correct! :)
Fountains ?Very good, Bri! Spot on. ;)
I think the lampshade gives it away! _))*
Lighthouse on Great Orme that is now a Guest House?
It's the keystone of the house next to Capri on Church Walks.
Is that in Haulfre Gardens?
Got lots of ink(?) blobs on it! :D_))* _))* _))* L0L
Are those two white pillars still there?
Eh? So nothing is odd about it then? .... am I missing the point?
Get a grip man! Thats not a quiz question!
Looks like the Summit Complex at the back to me. It's a gate in the walled enclosure on top of the Orme.
As you are reading this you are sitting at your PC probably at your home! L0LI might have taken the photo on my phone and posted it straight to the forum using the built in Internet browser.... ZXZ
Castle Hotel Conwy perhaps?Indeed it is! Shakespeare's bar, as it used to be called. The location of the infamous Byron Davies incident, as well.

Above Hidden Hearing opposite the Town Hall. Creations (?) Hair Studio
Where in Llandudno will you find this unusual first floor window?Why does it say TROJANS Hair Studio?
If you blow it up, you wont see anything, as I made sure to photoshop it out! ;) :P
Like i said, it was photo shopped so you cant see anything other than a basic outline. :DIf you blow it up, you wont see anything, as I made sure to photoshop it out! ;) :P

I got in for free as well with my over 60 Cadw Pass ( THe biggest secret in Wales !) and had an excellent afternoon wandering around and chatting to the very knowledgeable volunteers. Especially liked the room with the illnesses and cures !
Apologies for hijacking the TOPIC but is this complimentary over 60 CADW pass still available ?
Another wild guess Bodlondeb Castle Flats.Wrong end of town, I'm afraid.
is it The Grand Theatre?Spot on! There is a maze of abandoned corridors and staircases in the Grand Theatre building.
Oriel Mostyn (deserted as usual)Correct, as I should hope, because you've been in here too. $walesflag$
It was new to me when I went past it today but I should have known that your local knowledge is insurmountable! Great stuff. &well&

I believe one of her Great Grand parents lived in a house named Grassendale in Mostyn Avenue, Llandudno. Related to Robert Claire Baxter no less.
Just cheated and looked on Google Maps is it Donald Insall ArchitectsBad boy! :o Yes, it is the Wales office of Donald Istall Architects, the foremost practice of conservation architects in the UK. I believe they are involved with the shortly to be unveiled plans to renovate Gwrych Castle in Abergele.

Is it the 'Flying Foam', wrecked at West Shore in 1936?
The original Library iin Llandudno. ;)
Before my time but was it where the old Red Garage was in Argyll Road?
I have it now as the Broadway Garage, Craig-y-Don but cannot find The Broadway, apart from Mostyn Broadway! I suspect it may have been where LSP garage is now or at least close by, maybe on what is now the Coach Park.
I thought Creams were based at Red Garages but you've already said that's wrong so I'm stumped
There was a Creams booking office at the old Astra/Odeon, I think?
Looking at the photos of the Motor Station and Astra, there's quite a bit of similarity in the ground floor design - was it a design that was modified and the cinema was built on that site instead of the garage maybe?
You've been on the same boat trip as me! L0L
The specific cleft in the rock is called Dutchman's Cave. 8)
Ogof Elmyn ;)
The building was demolished and the new building started in late 1933 housing the Winter Gardens, opened on 25 March 1935
Llandudno Motor Station was opened in 1930.
The coaches were at Herkomer Road / Bryniau Road which was taken over by Frank Tyldesley and became a Garage, since then a One Stop Shop and now Disability Shop.
There is also record of Creams being at Dunphy's Warehouse and Bakery and also by Maesdu Bridge!
Zach (Zachary) was one of the brother's and the other was I believe Daniel but can't be sure.
In 1920 Sir Zachry's father, also called Zachry, and his mother bought some freehold land adjoining Queen's Road and Conway Road and rented a house called Bryn Wylfa. It was at this house that Sir Zachry was born.
The Brierley Brothers were Sir Zachry's father Zachry and his brother James.
When Sir Zachry was born in 1920 and until 1944 when his grandfather died, there were three Zachry Brierleys alive.
Llandudno Motor Station was opened in 1930.
I think it was Queens road and at a guess it later became an engineering works
Here endeth the history lesson on the Brierleys! L0L
Water pump from the Gt Orme mines?
That's a tricky one Yorkie and I haven't a clue. I don't think it's in Llandudno and more likely to be in Conwy but I'm still thinking about it. ?{}?
Where is this Listed Building in the Three Towns area?
Shouldn't be too difficult, there aren't that many!
Ah! There is a major clue! L0L
Yorkie's right, it's the one next to the path behind St. David's College/Gloddaeth Hall.

Tudno castle hotel?...is the correct answer! Well done, Mike. :)
Ha ha... liked the little addition of 'Trojan Street'
L0L
Looks like a train station.... dunno which one though.
The original Llandudno train station entrance?
Was it the old man-powered lifeboat with the crew manning the oars?I'm afraid not. A small clue would be that the Lifeboat was the 'Thomas and Annie Wade Richards'.
Hay Ho beat me to it!
(Edited to remove expletives)
It's on the top of the Great Orme.
All the employees of the same company in the first photo were also members of the Fire Brigade?
Hmmm...somewhere on Builder Street? ;D
Claremont Road?
Breton St?
The Grand Hotel.....perhaps?It's a grand looking building...but its not the Grand Hotel.
Magistrates' Court ?Not the Magistrates Court. This building was built in the 1920s.
town hall?Not the Town Hall, I'm afraid.
Palladium?Well Done! :) It is one of a pair of golden eagles that sit on the twin domes of the Palladium/Wetherspoons.
i allways believed thorpes builders yard was at the end of jubilee street and to the left hand side of central school,it was where we used to have our ciggies and do our scrapping,and joe butler would come out of the school gates into thorpes yard and catch us confiscate the fags and drag us by the ear back into school to see mr garfield rees our head
That's a clever angle you've shot that one from Dave and I think it's the Royal Hotel in Church Walks.Absolutely right, Hugo, I was hoping that the odd angle would fool people a little longer! ;D
I bet wrex will suggest it is the Town Council's disused switch for the Xmas illuminations. %0% VV I*L0L L0L _))*

Dave wouldn't go in the Castle, surely? It has an admission fee!!Unlike YOU, I paid to go in, rather than wait for a Free Admission day. D)
on the flyover, A55 opening plaque?...is the correct answer! Well Done. :) The plaque marks the opening of the Conwy Road Tunnel by HM The Queen in October 1991.
isn't that in junction?
Breton Street ?Correct, Bri! I'd never walked down there before, what an odd little street, looks like there would have been quite a few businesses down there at one time but most of the warehouse type buildings seem empty now:
Llanrhos school?Not Llanrhos School, I'm afraid.

Would you believe, Hugo, I was going to post the same earlier but I wasn't as brave as you?
Frenchy McCormick's?....is the correct answer. As Fester pointed out, you can still see the sign at the back of Fat Cat's canopy.
Osborne House?Yes, well done! $good$
Llandudno
Was it where the Liddell Park estate is now?
The answer is Jackson's Farm on the site where the QE Court Masonic Home now stands.

Looking at M&Co from the front, it is the left-hand part of the shop (M&Co aka Marie Et Cie was originally three separate shops). I wonder what it was originally, the ceiling is very grand?
indoor training pitch in Eirias parkCorrect! The new building for Rygbi Gogledd Cymru, currently under construction in Eirias Park, Colwyn Bay.
Is it the new Antiques shop near Kindways?I'm afraid not. Maybe a mooch along Madoc Street might reveal a clue?
Is it the little shop next to Littlewoods Clearance who sell an eclectic mix of items and often have a blues brother model outside?That's the one! $good$
Can anyone remember what the name of the nightclub was below the castle hotel at the back of Parc Llandudno when it was a nightclub ?Beachcomber or Grays
I do not know but someone else is keen to know the answer.
Is it Leopold's cafe in the Mall below Jasmine House?That's not the one, I'm afraid, Jack.
Mostyn's Cafe?Very good! $good$ I'd never been there before, the food was ok!
I asked the waitress to switch it on, and she did.... but after a while I think the novelty wore off for Dave and I. L0L...after about one minute, in my case. $angry$
Interesting, it is in b&w to disguise it, maybe a distinctive colour? ;)
It's the old Electricity Board Showroom by the Arriva bus depot in Llandudno Junction.
Cwlach Road?I know the one you're thinking of, very similar...but not the one! ;D
Penrhynside, near the foot of the Little Orme, accross from the Craiglands?Is this what you meant?

Nant y Glyn Methodist Church at The DingleNot that either, I'm afraid.
Old pump house in Rhôs on Sea, off church roadThat's the one. It's been in the papers lately with a reward for anyone who can suggest a new use for it.
I used to work for Welsh Water and visited there quite often. It's a very impressive building and goes down two storeys underground as it had a dry well set-up. The pump motors were at the top with two propshafts going down to each pump at the bottom. There was also an office and workshop at the back on the ground level.That's interesting, what exactly is a dry well set up?
was it the one next to telefusion where the entrance to the vic centre isWell done, Norman, you've got it. I have a photo from the 1960s that shows it, there was a bank next door where Animal is now.

Could anyone tell me what the buildings of the mail house, post office and Mostyn gallery used to be? They are very grand.The Post Office and Oriel Mostyn were purpose built.

Looks like the Youth Hostel on the Sychnant Pass road in Conwy?
Absolutely spot on. If I hadnt given you the clue Francis and the thousands to one chance that your daughter should happen to work for someone in the same line of business with the same name, would you still have come up with the answer?
I could only go by the evidence I had - C'est la vie! Z**Of course! It was only when I saw on old postcard of Rhos and saw the chapel sitting where Ninos is now that I realised the error.

I may be wrong, (and more often than not I am), but I think that planning permission was introduced shortly after the end of the second world war. Now I will await a sharp repremand from those in the know for peddling untruths, see if I care, I will take it like a man $smack$You're absolutely......correct. The Town & Country Planning Act was introduced in 1947. $good$
is it the conservative club and they are saving on the electricBooks in a Conservative club? Come now, Snowcap, you're going into the realms of fantasy now....
This is only a wild guess, but is it the cafe above the book shop in Madoc Street.?You know, I've never been up to that cafe? No, it's not in Llandudno, I'm afraid.
Coffee Corner, Abergele Road, Colwyn Bay. Very good Breakfasts! ZXZNice coffee there, too. But it's not the correct answer, I'm afraid. Although it is in the Colwyn Bay area...
Is it the Pen Y Bryn in the heights Dave? thought id have a look around the other subjects whilst on my weekend off..You're right, Mike. $good$ It is the Pen Y Bryn pub in Upper Colwyn Bay, an excellent place for a pint and some great food.
The chippy it is.
For some time we had been thinking of going there for an evening meal, however, having looked at their menu, I am not very impressed by the vegetarian option, I use the singular as there is only one hot vegetarian dish on the menu. Not impressed. The chippy it is.

Sorry, I cheated with street view. ;D
The tiny Saxon chapel on Rhos seafront?I'm sure St Trillo would not be thrilled to be referred to as a Saxon!
St Mary's????That's not the one. &shake&
Is it St Benedics in Gyffin?It's not a Church or Chapel. ;)
On the Quay, Door near the Toilets?Wrong, Conwy has a lot of old wooden doors
It's that old derelict pub that was built in 1589. Don't remember the name though.I think we can let you have that one, Hugo! :D It is indeed the Black Lion in Castle Street.
Are you answering your own guesses now, Jason?! :DSomeone emailed me to tell me I was wrong and then told me the answer, but I couldn't take the credit so didn't post the answer. $good$

grand theatre - broadway boulevard?Well done, Dwsi, its the inside of the top tower room seen in this photo:
whoop whoop! $bounce$Probably just storage. It only exists to give the building a tower, really. The whole building is full of disused rooms, which would have once been dressing rooms, props, costumes etc. It's a real maze on the upper floors and the alterations to the layout caused by the Nightclub have made it even worse. We crawled through this hole at the top of a disused staircase and found ourselves behind the counter in one of the upper bars in the Boulevard!
What was the purpose of the room in the theatre's heyday?
It's my ambition to find one you don't know!
I've still not got over you knowing the concrete wall in the Oriel Mostyn in about 5 mins flat!

One of a pair at 83 Church Walks, the end nearest the pier!

Oooo Jack, so close I have to give it to you. It is Wynn Gardens and is the entrance on the Wynnstay Road side.
There loads of lovely stone carvings in that park.
Just found this about it,
"Included in the scheme will be artworks and sculptures which are being funded by the Arts Council for Wales through National Lottery sources. "
I could have looked at that forever ! My mind doesn't seem to work in that direction at all.

It is opposite the National Trust shop on the building which houses the gift shop next to the Civic Hall.I believe that building was once the Eagles Inn, according to the list of lost Conwy pubs I compiled back in 2010:
Beach Drive, Penrhyn Bay, there used to be a gold Rolls Royce Silver Shadow parked on the drive, we lived very near until last February!

Look like Rydal Penrhos teachers' houses off King's Road, Colwyn Bay. Up for sale ??Well done! They are going to be demolished and replaced by flats.
Thanks Dave, I bet Mike's looking through the street indexes and Yorkie's Googling like mad! D):laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Sorry Hugo but street indexes No. If I go into a quiz anywhere, and thats not very often, I answer from inside my memory. And definitely not google.
Everybody is different, but I just don't see the point in just searching for an answer.
I did too much of that in my old job in a Bank. Mike

Yorkie, I was hoping to make it easier for you by translating the clue into English but perhaps I should have stuck with its more familiar Welsh name. Best get out your Welsh - English dictionary. $walesflag$
Is it on the perimeter wall of Llangwstenin Hall?;)
Is this too easy ?
