Dist:1.2km north<br/>I classed this as a disused public house, as the site does not have disused house as a classification. The property does seem to have displayed a sign once. There seems to be a few derelict properties that adorn this coast road (A548)in Flintshire. Don't know whether this is a problem, but the Flintshire Council is promoting an "Empty Homes Scheme" on its website. The structure of this building looks sound to me, but those trees seem to look a problem should anyone renovate.
