That looks like a place worth visiting, fascinating.

It was DaveR. Here are a few more photos to inspire you.
We were really lucky. We were staying with friends who live there. They took us on a grand walking tour of the city.

  $walesflag$       Where in North Wales will you find this gable-end mural? It is easily visible on a well used road and bus route.

What an amazing coincidence! We passed this on Sunday and commented on it. I'm not going to give it away but all I will say is we passed it on the way back from Pembrokeshire.

A School in Blaenau Ffestiniog.

Workshops for nursery aged children to create murals to be fixed to the school's outer walls. Coloured ... Ysgol y Moelwyn, Blaenau Ffestiniog 2008.

                Yorkie, you are correct in stating that it is in Blaenau Ffestiniog, but your location is incorrect. It is actually on the side of a shop (Beatons, Chartered Accountants) at the junction of the A470 (Church St.) and Heol Foty (Lord St.) and can be seen clearly on Google maps. Ysgol-y-Moelwyn is about a quarter of a mile away to the south-west in Wynne Road. Only you and Hollins (who drove past it last week-end, but didn't give the game away, thanks Hollins!) came up with answers so well done anyway.

Small error on my part for failing to read the full text!   Yes it is a work by Catrin Williams and she seems to be quite a prolific Artist with works being exhibited and commissioned for many parts of the UK.  A bit more knowledge in my brain box!  :D

DaveR's new headquarters perhaps?
Where is this place?

                  In view of your recent photos from the Roman city of Bath, and the the fact that the word "Forum" is Latin for "meeting-Place", (if my ageing memory serves me right!), can I hazard a guess at Bath? Sorry i can't be more precise. By the way thanks very much for your consideration in not immediately divulging the answer to my mural question  yesterday!

Hi Gwynant,
I was amazed when your mural question came up as we had only just been past it!
Sorry but my photo isn't in Bath. It is much closer to home in North Wales.

It is The Forum Tea Rooms in Denbigh!

And I did NOT use Google!

Thanks, Hollins.  Realising that it was most likely to be a Cafe or Restaurant I did a search in Trip Advisor!   :D
