Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Cambrian]

I think it's Llaneurgain/Northop.

I think it's Llaneurgain/Northop.

And you're spot on Cambrian.  We went to a friend's wedding at the Church yesterday and I noticed those signs on the houses so I thought I take some photos for the forum.           
It's a pretty little village and not far off the A55

Hugo, a bit of trivia.... during the search for your quiz, I was surprised to learn that Tu Hwnt I'r Bont Tearoom, Llanrwst (Bridge Cafe) was originally the Llanrwst Courthouse.......

"Built as a residential dwelling in 1480, Tu Hwnt i’r Bont (Beyond the Bridge) is actually considerably older than the Inigo Jones bridge it stands beside. Some years later the building was used as the Courthouse for the surrounding area. From here the most serious offenders could have been taken to Tan y Craig in Llanrwst where they could be hanged outside the old gaol!"

Old photo.....looking very bleak, compared to today.

That's interesting Steve, thanks for posting that info as I never knew that.    I wonder where they held the Court cases when the place flooded.     

I could tell that you were searching for info to locate the place and that's why I thought that I'd help by giving you a big clue about the village name starting with the letter LL.       Hope that it helped

A bit too easy I think but interesting anyway maybe?
Where did I see this rabbit?

[Hugo]

It's Peter Rabbit at Snugbury Farm  near Nantwich,   lovely ice creams they have there.     

[hollins]

Well done Hugo.
They are very creative each year with their straw sculptures. I think I put the meerkat one on here before.

I think they've chosen Peter Rabbit as last month was the 150th anniversary of the birth of Beatrix Potter.

When I worked for a living I travelled to Stoke-on-Trent area fairly regularly and, if the timing was right, would return via Snugburys just to get one of their many flavoured ice creams!

[Hugo]

Well worth a detour to get one of their delicious ice creams.

A very easy one for someone on a Wednesday evening.    Where would you see this in N Wales exactly?       

[SteveH]

There is a shop in the small town of Portmadog in North Wales called Kerfoots. It's an old-fashioned type shop with a bit of everything in it. For the millennium they commissioned this stunning stained glass dome in the center of the shop.

[Hugo]

Well done Steve,     

 it was constructed in 1999 to celebrate the store's  125th anniversary, the stain glass depicts how Porthmadog looked in 1874.
The store also has an unusual spiral staircase below the glass dome

[Hugo]

Where are you likely to see this on your travels in N Wales
