« on: Monday 15 September 14 02:25 BST (UK) »
Can anyone help with information as to where any of these were sited, I don't know the area at all and cannot find any other info about them, is it possible they were large private homes given for the use of injured and convalescent soldiers:

www.old-maps.co.uk/en/home

enter coordinates   224470   379935
when all maps loaded, you'll see "Isallt Fawr" on modern map in main window.
click on 1924 map and when loaded, click on main window to zoom (anywhere except red box marked "Enhance zoom".

On the Enumerator's list (1911 Census) the sequence of entries is -

"Carreg Fawr, The Cottage, Porth y Post, Bay View,Gwynfa, Ty y Cae, Darien Hotel, Bron Isallt, Isallt Bach, Trearddur Bay Hotel, "

Coordinates  224630   379511 
On the 1924 map I can make out a number of those listed - except the Darien Hotel!!

Have you checked Welsh Newspapers on line?

The items don't identify location but there are items about the Darien Hotel in its role as a Red Cross Hospital.
