Spot on BrianP

The picture shows the start of the Llangollen canal and the pumping house.    Thomas Telford built the Horseshoe falls to divert water from the River Dee to fill the Llangollen canal.

And you're correct Dave.   It's Rhiwddolion near Betws Y Coed, the village was finally abandoned in the 1940's.  It had it's own shop and Chapel which also doubled up as the school.
Saw a photo of the shop in the book Dyffryn Conwy and there were four people in the picture including the shop owner.  The large lintel on the fireplace had a date of 1687 on it.

A really easy peasy one for all.  Where is this "Swatch" decorated roundabout?

Is Albufeira Portugal too obvious?  Seeing as it says it on the picture?
Been there for Xmas Yorkie?
