There is talk that a secret passage leads from this Feasting Hall to inside the nearby castle and was used in times of danger many years ago

No other guesses so I'll reveal the answer which Steve got in just 20 minutes.       So well done Steve

The answer is The Banquet House in Princes Road   Rhuddlan

You can still see it on Google Street view but it's not there now

Where was this 19th C bridge and what river did it cross?

Hugo,
Looks a bit like the  Llanerch Bridge between Trefnant and Tremeirchion (or what's left of it)?

Well done Hammy,  you're spot on with the Llanerch Bridge over the River Clwyd   

When I looked at Google Street view today the railings looked like they would have fallen off the bridge anyway   


I've attached a link from the incident

No, it isn't Prague. It is a capital city.

Here's a view of the city which has lots of steep cobbled streets.

No sorry, not Malta or Madeira. The highlight for me was the beautiful tiled buildings.

How about Lisbon?   Was the building you saw called the Sintra National Palace (?Pal?cio Nacional de Sintra?) ?
