That's a tough one Hollins   &shake&

I was thinking of Lewis Carroll's place in Guildford called Chestnuts but that is a brick building and some of the stone in your picture looks more like the Cotswolds stone.

O'h no, it is unusual for the forum quiz brains not to have got it by now.
More clues needed.
It is about 45 mins drive from Llandudno.
It was built in the early 18th century at the time when the landed gentry all had their town houses on this street.
The connection is with the Mostyn family.

Yes, well done.
Here is a link to the story of it's restoration.
There are many lovely Georgian buildings in Denbigh but what a shame to also see so many closed shops and boarded up buildings.

 &well&   detective dwsi!

It really is worth having a look if you are passing by or popping in to Tesco.

Brookhouse Pottery near Denbigh sell some beautiful work.

Not sure if it's the one but I seem to recall an old post box in the wall on Killens Hill on the Great Orme, that's if it's still there.

It's not that one SDQ but I bet there are not many letters posted there this week.

In the wall at West Shore that runs round the old  Plas Gogarth hotel site.

Hmmm...is that because it's by a school that is closed for half term, maybe? The primary school up by Bodafon Fields?
