A company moving into offices in a small Welsh town have been left stunned after discovering a 'secret' hall inside their new building. The hall, which is not believed to have been used in several decades, was found on the top floor of the former HSBC bank in Llanrwst, with the new tenants left wondering how the space came to be.
The team at local community translation company Menter Iaith Conwy made the surprise discovery after moving into the building in the town centre in 2019, North Wales Live reports. While they share the bottom two floors of the historic building with two other groups, they soon learnt that there was a hidden hall above them, with the owners now at a loss for what they should do with it.
According to the company, the vast empty space on the top floor has not been used for at least 60 years, during which time the building was used as a bank. Get the latest news from across Wales sent straight to your inbox for free by signing up to our newsletters.
