Shown on 5 historical map sheets, the earliest the 1795 "To Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn Bart ... the map of the six counties of North Wales is most humbly inscribed by his obedient humble servant" (Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru – The National Library of Wales).
Cadw's description
Location
Almost opposite the end of Penrhyn Road.
History
Built by 1932, as a cinema (The Princess Picture House).
Reason for designation
The cinema is a good example of a small picture house which,although simply
planned, exploits a distinctive architectural vocabulary in its main facade, and which retains a contemporary interior of some quality.
