    Ooh, it's the Ugly House - what a blast from the past! Always used to pass that en-route to hols in Wales and once visited it.

    (This refers to Mark R's post a few posts up)

    Just read the info on the Ugly House via the link Mark provided and I realise I was fibbed to as a child - my Dad told me it was a witch's house! I'll never trust him again!!!!

    That last pic reminds me of this derelict farm building - I took these photos when we were driving aimlessly around the country lanes - over past Llansannan way possibly towards Gwytherin. (not sure where it was)

    That reminds me, has anyone ever seen that house on the Denbigh moors (in the distance)? We used to always drive past it. When we went again some years later, it looked like it was decaying...
