Pierhead Pavilion on Llandudno Pier. During its supposed renovation, the decorative ironwork on the edge of the roof was all removed and was never seen again. Nice way to treat a Listed Building!

I'm surprised we didn't see the ironwork during the low tides!  ;)

These posts remind me of things I never got around to doing.  I never visited the Conwy Harbour Aquarium or the Rhos Point Museum or the Butterfly House at Bodlondeb.  There's obviously a lesson there!

Here's a photo of Upper Mostyn Street from 2007. Since then, 6 of the businesses visible have disappeared:

I wonder if it's down to the internet that these shops close, if I think about it I mostly only go to Asda, or if I'm feeling extravagent I may visit Tescos! I sometimes visit Home Bargains, B & Q or Homebase but thats about it. Most things (not food) I get online, usually on Ebay D)

I get most things online too, including my weekly shopping. Working shifts can make it difficult to get to Asda when I want so I tend to do it online the day before my rest day and get it delivered to my door to save trudging around the store (which I hate). It also stops any impulsive buying which I tend to get sucked into with those 'special offers' on goods I wouldn't normally buy.
