A BINGO HALL and social club in the heart of Conwy town has gone on the market for the first time in more than 50 years.

Palace Bingo and Social Club, at 10 High Street, has been put up for sale for a freehold price of £800,000 with estate agent St David's Commercial.

The building was constructed in 1935 based on designs by Colwyn Bay-based Sidney Colwyn Foulkes of Colwyn Bay, and was originally the Palace Cinema.

The building accommodates two small shops, an award-winning restaurant, The Jackdaw, and an auditorium space.

Local News & Discussion / Re: Everything to do with the Conwy Valley...Hoard of roman coins
« Last post by SteveH on July 16, 2024, 09:48:33 am »
A hoard of roman coins that were found at Cae Rhun in the Conwy Valley in 2018, are now on display at Amgueddfa Llandudno Museum.

A novice metal detectorist hit the jackpot just a few months into taking up his new hobby.

Dave Moss, 35, from Southport discovered the important hoard at Kanovium, a Roman fort at Cae Rhun.

Thought to be incredibly significant, the coins have gone through a long process including a late inquest before they were ready to be displayed.

Mr Moss's find was made in unlikely circumstances when he stumbled upon the metallic objects in a torrential downpour.

Three Towns Policing Issues / Re: Have your say on how your neighbourhood is policed!

Have your say on how your neighbourhood is policed!

North Wales Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Andy Dunbobbin was re-elected in May 2024. A very important part of his role is to create a plan for police to work to in order to fight crime across the region.

To be able to write this plan, he wants to ensure he is listening to local people about how they want to see North Wales policed and that he is addressing the concerns they have.

He is consulting with the people of North Wales in a survey to get their thoughts and responses.

The feedback will be incorporated into the plan and will help shape future services and the allocation of resources by police.

It is important that all sections of the population have the opportunity for their views to be represented and reflected in North Wales Police’s priorities. So have your say!

 :D Well I think I have sorted it out today.
Hi guys.
Here we go.
The first farm by the Black Cat was right my dad lived in the little house Hugh you said  that had dogs   so we are right here sold off in 1937, 7 years after William Bell left my grandmother,
and the second Pensarn farm  was the lower one
 as I was told it would have been all fields,
 and that must have been the farm we had gone to, and it was only about a 15-minute walk from LJ station, So this one was at the crossroads he called it was sort of in Glan CONWY  & LJ and  LLANSANTFFRAID if you see what I mean.
So they had been dad cousins,
so they had gone up & down to the farms across the fields.
 He said this had been sold to make roads in and around 1970.

    PS I hope I got this Right what I was told

WOW @ long last

More money and staff – so why isn't the NHS more productive?

The new government has made tackling NHS waiting times a key priority - and this week appointed NHS surgeon and former health minister Lord Ara Darzi to investigate what is going wrong. Is productivity the place to start?

The growing impact of the marine renewable energy sector on the Welsh economy
Membership body for the sector Marine Energy Wales has published its State of the Sector 2024 report

The marine renewable energy sector made a near £30m contribution to the Welsh economy in the last financial year, according to Marine Energy Wales.

The membership body for the sector, in its 2024 State of the Sector report, said the latest figures, for the financial year to March end this year, brings cumulative spending and investment to £292.9m.

While the latest economic impact is significantly down on the £103.4m in 2022-23, it is still the second highest annual level to date.

The decline on the previous year has been put down to the ending of European Union grant funding and the completion of major infrastructure build outs such as Morlais on Anglesey.
