(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:-

After Oakham we travelled north and passed through Nottingham where I spotted The Crown as I was driving past. I had to stop and photograph it. Stunning.

Side view from north:-

From north-east. Windows, chimney, exterior walling, all superb. If the windows have been replaced it’s been done sensitively. Pity about the grafitti on the wall, though:-

From South-east:-

Rear of building. Nice to see the Art Deco elements extend all the way round, even if the extension’s a bit iffy:-

Detail showing Crown emblem at front:-

This view mostly avoided the lamp-post obscuring the building:-
