Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

There may have been some changes in the village but the old Chapel is still there in Dyffryn Conwy            

The White Horse and Capel Seion, Capel Garmon ?

[Hugo]

You're spot on again Steve, well done         

It is the White Horse Inn in Capel Garmon,  sometimes known as Tafarn Penllan in Welsh.      It's now a lovely looking private residence, well that's at the front elevation anyway.     The back of the property is more like work in progress?

[DVT]

Anyone know where this filling station is - arguably within the Three Towns area!

[mull]

Conwy Morfa ?

[DVT]

Not Conwy Morfa!

[Hugo]

A wild guess at the Riverside Garage Glan Conwy

[DVT]

Sorry, not that one!

Note my wording "is" not "was" !!

[Cambrian]

This is an early incarnation of the Black Cat Garage at Glan Conwy Corner.  It has been rebuilt at least twice since then to my knowledge.
I think it was originally built around 1936 and re-built in 1948.  It was substantially re-built in the early 1970s and again a few years back when the whole site was reconfigured to take account of the slip road and roundabout alterations.

[DVT]

CORRECT Cambrian - well done!  Unfortunately I have no info as to when or who took the picture.

I passed my test in 1966 and have used Black Cat to this day, albeit with a break of a few years when Marineland sold fuel.

It didnlt look like that when I first started going there but there was a man in a white coat who served me.

Back then I lived in Tal-y-Cafn and worked in Colwyn Bay 1966-1970 - always put fuel in on my way home on Fridays - £1 a week was enough in the early days!

[Cambrian]

Thanks DVT.  I can recall it being run by a chap from Maeshyfryd (Mr Davies) whose father had the little cycle shop near Glan Conwy station.  After he retired, a local couple, Brian and Branwen, ran it for quite a few years.

Where would you find this building in N Wales?                     

[Hugo]

These photos by the big mill may help               

[SteveH]

I thought this might be the answer........... https://wellhopper.wales/2012/02/06/ffynnon-asa-cwm/

[Hugo]

That's a very good link you've posted Steve and we saw all of those places in our walk yesterday from Dyserth to Marian Mills.

Well done for finding it so quickly         

I've attached a photo of Melin Fawr (the Big Mill ) but there are a few other mills in that area and I'll pass on the link to my walking buddy Tellytubby as he'd be pleased to see it too

[SteveH]

Thanks Hugo, glad you found the link interesting.
