High Court saved the Vaynol Arms


One of the most fascinating old buildings in the walled town of Caernarfon dates from c.1507 but was almost pulled down in 1995. It took ...

Now it's home to the gallery of photographer Geraint Thomas, and inside you can see a patch of the original wattle and daub which was left exposed when the building was renovated.
