Here are two shots from the great Bee expedition of February 6th, 2009. The Bee Hotel in Bodfor Street dates back well into Victorian times, but inside the building there was surprisingly little period detail. Fixtures and fittings were comparatively modern and nearly all were wrecked. The tiling in the lobby (shown above) was particularly interesting.

Our shepherd for the occasion was Gary Richards of Denbighshire county council’s Design and Development department. Thanks to Gary and his colleague Paul Smith for making special arrangements.

Fred Burns of Phoenix Studio, 44 Bedford Street, Rhyl, tel (01745) 356900, took more than 80 shots which have been put on disc for Natalia in New Zealand. With her permission the pictures are available for council and community use. You can see the disc at Rhyl Library.
