Another location mystery, Iris and friend maybe on a tour of Snowdon

I'm inclined to Gadget's conclusion.  Take a look at this photo for comparison:

Yes, I think that is definitely it! Well done Gadget and Little Nell.

I agree with you all and the Francis Frith photo shows quite well where the fire hall would be on the right of the entrance. Again you've all outdone yourselves. I can't tell you how thankful I am for your assistance. Living in Canada with no way to see for myself, I'm actually feeling very much like I've been there! Google Earth is a big help, but having you all as guides makes my armchair journey so much better. Thanks to everyone and I hope I am not overdoing it with all my questions.
Cheers,
Brian

Same here, Roger. As soon as Brian posted, I thought 'Conwy' but couldn't find it. I then deviated to all the other Castles in North Wales and then decided to look again at the old Frith cards - the one I found came up on Google before Nell's.

I now know a lot more about the castles and antiquities of my homeland

To my shame (and the school's), we never stopped at Conwy on the school trips. We were always speading by to Rhyl for high tea. I always saw the castle from the road

I should have recognised it as well, I took children there on school trip for several years. However in my defence I was probably too busy counting heads to make sure that we hadn't lost any children!

Gadget-my instinct should have been right-I live less than 20 miles away(Dyserth).When you stopped in Rhyl I might have seen you,I was born there!

Well done Gadget 

There is mention of the fire station and other buildings here - see '20th century improvements'

I was the one eating candy floss, Roger 

For completeness, here's the entrance to Beaumaris that Algie found:

Added - just looked at your link, Heywood - explains a lot    Bet you went on trips along the North Wales coast too.

I was the one earning pocket money by "casing".
