Casting a gloomy spectre over a Welsh coastal town is a unique property known locally as the “spooky house”.
Craig Y Môr has perched on the coast of Holy Island in Trearddur Bay in Anglesey for more than a hundred years. Designed by Liverpool architect FG Hicks, construction of the house began in 1911.
The work ceased during the First World War and the house was finally completed in around 1919. It was built for a wealthy Englishman called William Smellie, who was one of a number of people to build holiday homes around Porth Diana at the time.
