A RESTAURANT in Llandudno which closed more than a decade ago remains largely untouched, with furniture eerily still in place.

Number 1's Bistro, at Old Road, closed at least 12 years ago when owners Howard and Annie Daniels retired from running the site.

The former bistro was taken on by the couple in 2003, with Annie in the kitchen and Howard working front of house.

But since its closure more than 10 years ago, not much has been done with the property.

The site did go on the market for £315,000 in 2021 with estate agents William Gleave, but it is not known if the building was sold or removed from the market.

The "imposing" building was described as being "in need of renovation throughout" yet an "ideal project" for whoever takes it on.

Judging by the interior, there are no plans for the bistro's return, with much of the restaurant in a sorry state.

The wooden bar frame and much of the indoor furnishings remain in place, as well as pictures and other art decorations.

But the bistro has seen better days, with some of the inside gathering considerable amounts of dust and dirt.

Vegetation has grown outside the property and the façade is dated, but the bistro no doubt brings back fond memories for residents.
