On the way to Prestatyn and Rhyl we took the North Wales Expressway, aka the A 55. By contrast on the way back to Hawarden, we travelled by the coast road and as a consequence passed through the town of Flint where I spotted this Art Deco style house:-

Seen from right:-

Rule of three in windows to left, canopy, decorative roofline. Windows have been messed about with, though:-

From this angle the flat roof is obvious. The house is rendered in cream rather than the more usual Art Deco white:-

Rear of house:-

(I’ve been away over the weekend and so missed posting about Mac Davis and Helen Reddy. More anon.)

Anyway, here are some more photos from our trip to North Wales last September.

Prestatyn stands below a steep hill at the top of which there is a great view over the North Wales coast, looking over to Rhyl on the left with Prestatyn to the right:-

Halfway up the hill there is a house with a balcony containing statues of two lookouts commemorating an RAF observation post there during the Second World War.

Lookout 1:-

Lookout 2:-

Both lookouts:-

Near the top of the hill is the Eagle & Child Inn (also known as the Bird and Bastard):-

The above is not a badly parked car. It’s half a car:-

Home of Prestatyn Town FC.

From Hawarden we took a wee trip along Wales’s north coast and stopped at Prestatyn to see friends.

Near the seafront on, erm, Bastion Road, I spotted the local team’s football ground. (I see from Google Maps the ground is actually named Bastion Gardens.)
