Cadw's description
Location
Immediately S of Conway Lodge, re-erected in the centre of the former lane.
History
Early C20, cast by Hardy & Padmore Ltd of Worcester (nameplate on base). It was moved to its present position in the late C20.
Exterior
A cast-iron road sign re-set within a stone plinth. It has a moulded base incorporating neo-classical foliage decoration, shaft with similar-style capital, and ball-and-steeple finial. It has 2 signs, both of which have small letters reading 'Borough of Conway' under arched heads. The N sign reads 'To Llandudno' and the S 'To Tywyn & Conway'.
Reason for designation
Listed, notwithstanding its removal to a new position, as an especially well-detailed and well-preserved early C20 road sign.
