Pen Morfa - Ground Zero No.2

The now demolished Pen Morfa

"News first from the Llandudno Local...

Disappointment to Llandudno has come after the Local discovers a reliable source confirming Anwyl have no immediate plans whatsoever to develop on the Pen Morfa site on West Shore after being told by their bankers not to commence any developments for the forseeable future, the result of greedy developers who have no shame. Has Llandudno been left with yet another 'ground zero' on it's hands like that of the pavilion site on North Shore. The big question is, how long will this eyesore remain?"

How long this eyesore will remain is as good a guess yours as it is mine, if the loss of heritage is isn't hurtful enough to the town, now we're left with another pavilion site to showcase our resort. Welcome to Llandudno folks.

Business and Heritage

If there's one business in town thats touched me most this year, it has to be Mis En Place (Upper Mostyn Street). It's a small deli which can be found half way up Upper Mostyn Street opposite Pound Stretchers.  They sell freshly made filled rolls to die for, a favourite of mine is Chicken, Bacon & Garlic Mayonnaise, you'll pay a little more than other sandwich bars, but the fillings are of the best quality ingredients using home roasted meats for example. You can easily be led to buying more than you anticipated if you clock eyes on their new lines of hand made fudge which they have several flavours to choose from, then theirs the homemade cakes and puddings, the Roulade is gorgeous, naughty but nice as they say. Run by Emma & Mark they offer a very friendly service with a laugh and a giggle once you get to know them well enough!

On the back of the shop wall they've recently had a stunning mosaic fitted by a local artist depicting the town through an archway overlooking some freshly baked fudge on the table to take your fancy. It's a very nostalgic piece and it's great to see a local business doing their bit to promote the heritage of the town.

I look forward to seeing their future developments and their business grow. They truly deserve it.
