My guess is Llanrwst, but I haven't a clue what the building is or was.

I think the village might be Capel Garmon, but don't know the building's former use  :'(

Jack's correct, the village is Capel Garmon and the house was previously the village shop.

I was up there on Thursday checking a walking route for some OAP's that I'm taking up there next week.  The house was a shop many years ago and was very sympathetically converted into residential use.   Since the White Horse Inn ceased to be a pub the village seems to need some TLC and this nice property looks across the road to this run down pub .

Is it that wobbly bridge going over to the shopping centre in Wrexham?

I knew it would be you to get this one, H! Yes, its the Eagles Meadow Shopping Centre in Wrexham. I found Wrexham to be a very pleasant town to visit.

                Where in the North Wales area would you find this standing stone and what does it commemorate?

The area remind me of Parc Menai but I've no idea where or what the stone commemorates.  Still thinking on this.      ?{}?

             Not Parc Menai, Hugo, but I can understand where you see the resemblance.

Is it a Gorsedd Stone marking the site of a past Eisteddfod?   No idea where but i'm also working on it. :D

                No Yorkie, nothing to do with an Eisteddfod.  A small clue, what kind of stone is the standing stone formed from?

Is it the Quarrymen's memorial at Allt-Ddu?

                Well Done Jack, it is. (Also well done Yorkie for your observation!)  We took the trail on from the memorial on out above the entrance to Electric Mountain with views over Dolbadarn Castle and Llyn Peris and on to the point where it starts to descend to Nant Peris. We didn't go all the way down as it would have meant walking all the way back up to the car at Allt Ddu and also the rain was starting to come down the Llanberis Pass. (Some photos attached)
