About the Area

The History

The house was initially used as a domestic dwelling, a school and an approved school for boys. From the late 1950’s onwards it appears that the house fell into disrepair and ruin and was used as a hideout by local children and teenagers


The Watkin Jones Homes Group and Ravenscroft Homes North Wales Limited developed a housing estate on the former site of an impressive manor house known Plas Foel-Lus, Graiglwyd Road, Penmaenmawr.

The ordinance survey map of 1891 highlights the location of the house and its boundary.  There is evidence that the grounds of the house was home to an ornamental lake, which was serviced by the stream, which runs along the boundary. This is supported by local historian, Dennis Roberts.
