The implication is that "Bryn Y Neuadd Hospital" is built on the Site of a "stately home" of the same name.
http://www.llanfairfechan.org.uk/newsite/about-llanfairfechan/history/bryn-y-neuadd/ tells us that:-
===================
Bryn y Neuadd had and still has a very important role in the history of Llanfairfechan. A house was built on the estate in the 1667 for the Roberts family. The house was later demolished and a mansion was built by John Platt in 1862 after he bought the 130 acre estate, a businessman from Oldham, Lancashire. The family also built Christ Church. The arrival of the Platts in the village brought a lot of much needed work in the community.

In 1898 St. Andrews Hospital, Northampton, bought Bryn y Neuadd to provide care for people for what they called “lunatics and idiots.” In 1967 the mansion was demolished and a long stay hospital was constructed on the site, this was at a cost of two and a half million pounds. This was to provide a service for 250 “mentally handicapped” patients from all over North and Mid-Wales. The hospital was opened in 1971; and is still home to many people.
================
http://www.coflein.gov.uk/pdf/CPG004/ gives a description which surely applies to the Lodge shown at 45C :-
=====================
The south-western corner of the park once supplied a separate focus of interest. A
'Grand Lodge', demolished in the 1960s, stood astride the long, western carriage
drive shortly after it entered the park. This was an imposing gothic building with
turrets, a side tower and a central archway. The stream which flows across the corner
was dammed into pools, embellished with rockwork, and decorated with artificial
islands and waterfalls by the firm Pulham & Sons. Artificial, ‘Pulhamite’ stone may
have been employed for some of this work as it was used extensively at Gorddinog,
another Platt family house on the opposite side of the old A55. The bridge across the
stream was immediately in front of the Grand Lodge, and the whole area was
lavishly planted with mixed coniferous and deciduous trees and underplanted with
shrubs, mostly rhododendron and laurel. It would have formed an impressive entry,
followed by the long drive across the park with a sinuous belt of trees on one side and
views across to the sea on the other. This area has suffered very much during the
recent construction of the new A55, everything to the north-west of the Grand
Lodge having been swept away except for a remnant of the plantation. A waterfall and artificial island can still be seen in the stream to the south-east of the drive,
although the shrubbery is now very overgrown.

Any ideas as to the date of the picture ?
