          An easy one for Saturday night, where in North Wales would you find this nautical-themed mural, and on what type of business premises is it situated?

Fish and Chip Shop in Rhyl?

           No Yorkie, not a fish and chip shop and not in Rhyl, (or Denbighshire).

            As you very sportingly didn't give an answer DaveR, I'll assume you want to let it run on so I'll give a clue to the whereabouts of the mural. It is situated on the western side of a large geographical feature in North Wales and within a mile of one of North Wales's largest and most tragic shipwrecks.

I'm assuming that it's the Royal Charter shipwreck in Moelfre and that it's on the main road A5025 but can't see it so I'll carry on looking.

              Wrong shipwreck Hugo, this was a more recent shipwreck of a vessel 205 ft. long but there was no loss of life or injury incurred in this one.

            No M.E. sorry not Llandulas. The building with the mural is situated in a town that had a frequent link with a large maritime city up to the early sixties........?  The shipwreck was only tragic because of the follow-on consequencies of the event.

A wild pop at HMS Conway which went aground by the Menai Suspension Bridge.   You were in that area with a recent walk so it must be around the Brittania Bridge area although it looks like something on an industrial estate.
I've no idea what or where though ?{}?

      You are in the right area Hugo, but you have gone in the wrong direction from your correct answer to the H.M.S."Conway" clue. I have checked and it is visible on Google Streetview. You would have passed this way to find your onward route blocked by a 20 ton obstacle a couple of weeks ago.
      DaveR, as you passed this building twice in the last two days would I be right in thinking you were re-visiting one of your past week-end locations in the near vicinity?  $dins$

I'll try and follow Dave's path to the Bulkeley Arms and see if I can see it.     ;D

That landslide must have wiped it away because I still can't see it but will have a pop at Gallow's Point in Beaumaris.
