I'm sorry to have to do it, but it's time to add in the Grand Theatre to the Eyesores list. Recently known as the Broadway Boulevard nightclub, this Edwardian Theatre closed in 2013, with the building's exterior deteriorating alarmingly since. It is currently boarded up and for sale at £750,000. Somehow, I don't imagine there will be anyone rushing to buy....

It's difficult to know what use could be made of this building other than as a nightclub/community theatre/arts venue.

This building is crying out for a website to promote its potential more widely and maybe attract some funding to at least stabilise its condition.

Any news on the Tudno Castle development?  It seems to have gone quite quiet and the planning application has not, to my knowledge, even been lodged yet.

It's still on the market at a price of £750,000. Personally, I think it would only take an offer of £250,000 to buy the place, given its non-trading state and general condition. I noticed that dodgy buldes had been flytipping rubbish round the back of it a few weeks ago.

I've heard that wheels are slowly turning in the background.

Well, an application has now gone into CCBC for the Tudno Castle Hotel.  The development is to comprise a 63 bedroom hotel, 3 restaurants, 2 shops and a gym/office space.

Now that we've reached this stage, let's hope it goes through without any problems and CCBC don't delay it endlessly in planning, or try and make the developers open in Colwyn Bay or something.

The Clarence had 58 rooms and the plans are now for 82.

So 63 + 82 = an extra 145 hotel bedrooms.

Wonder what's happening?
Nothing, it would appear! The last scheduled meeting to discuss the issue at CCBC was cancelled and its not been back on the agenda since.

I notice Mostyn estates and Opus have missed their summer start on the Tudno Castle hotel,no chance of this one being ready on time either.

Walking past today I was amazed how rapidly the building is deteriorating still further. I can't see anything of the original being salvaged the cracks in the walls look so ominous. My bet it will end up a total demolition job. Maybe that's why there is a delay ?
