Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Hugo]

I'm not sure what this sculpture is supposed to be.   It's pretty ugly anyway.        Could it be a Toad, if it is then it must be rare as I've never seen a Toad looking like that before?     

[SteveH]

The nearest I can find is a sand lizard found on Anglesey, unless someone has nicked half of the sculpture.....

[Hugo]

It's not Anglesey Steve and I don't know what that ugly little sculpture is meant to be.   A sculpture of a Natterjack Toad would be more fitting for this location

[Hammy]

Hugo,
No idea what variety of reptile that is but could it be around the Talacre area?

[Hugo]

It is around the Talacre area so well done.     The photos were taken in Tyn Y Morfa where the Natterjack Toad lives in the protected fenced off water area.

Talacre is a few miles further on and just around the corner on this photo.   There is a colony of protected Natterjack Toads there too.
Just look at the photos, miles and miles of soft sand and we only saw three other people on the whole stretch of beach

[Hugo]

This was the last Post Office in a North Wales village.    The question is in which village?

[Hugo]

The village was in Caernarfonshire but with all the boundary changes is now in Conwy County.   Now that should help a lot?

[SteveH]

Well, so far I know where it is not.................

[DVT]

Are you trying to fool us by saying it was in Caernarvonshire?  I think it is Maenan, which is on the east side of the River Conwy but, at one time, was in Caernarvonshire!

My great-grandfather, John Vaughan, was the miller at the Mill just down the road!

[Hugo]

Well that didn't fool you DVT.          If you had of got it wrong I'd have been surprised.

It is in Nant Y Felin Maenan and was in Caernarfonshire because of Edward 1.            Your Great Grandfather John Vaughan was the Miller at the Corn Mill across the road but according to a local lady I spoke to he lived at the Mill House ( the one in the photo ) which later became the Post Office

[Hugo]

Well, so far I know where it is not.................

I couldn't make it too easy Steve and it was in Caernarvonshire at one time
