617 Squadron, RAF Scampton,  plane No. ED932 and Guy Gibson and his crew,  although I am probably wrong on all counts   ZXZ

Nearly right but, you can have the points, The photo was taken at RAF Fiskerton, 49th Sqd. 1943 but within a few weeks of it being taken, a few of them, including my father the tall one, were transferred to the new 617 Sqd. Scampton.
Dad worked at Rhos County garage, joined the RAF in 39 as a mechanic his plane was M-mother, I am still researching his history, he never talked a lot about those days.
Well done, I was joking when I said now for part two of the question, but you "did good"   $good$

It's not in the Three Towns Mull but is further away from Llandudno.

Hope you liked your trip to Llandudno and am glad that you enjoyed the Fish & Chips at the Harbour View   $good$

There is a date and some details in that circle Steve but I'm not telling you about it yet!      WWW

Nothing to do with scouts though

Do you mean that you have done a bit of retouching, Hugo?  I have a feeling we've had this one before.    :D

Is it a Telephone Exchange, on Anglesey?   $walesflag$

A bit of a crop actually Yorkie but here's some more of it to make it easier.   It's not a telephone exchange or on Anglesey.
You may have driven past it,  I have, Ormegolf certainly has and I bet Mull has too.
It was built before 1900 as you may be able to see on the circle. ;D

Best I've got is village hall, checked surrounding areas, no luck.     The date did not help 1811 or 1814? Is it one of the smaller towns within the three town area. 
cobbled pavement,???

You've been very busy Steve but it wasn't a village hall when it was built in 1869.      I've just googled and can say that Yorkie has driven past it but obviously hadn't noticed it.
Because you've been so busy I'll show you the circle so you know what the building was,  but you can still have a point if you tell me where it is!
