Kingsland in Holyhead, Anglesey
The people of the town will be glad to hear that the eyesores they have endured for so long at Kingsland may soon be reduced to rubble. It has been announced that the derelict buildings that once were the Colosseum Nightclub (which once was Sunnyside Snooker Club), the old Crossville building, and the not so old retail units, are to replaced by a new hotel.
I am sure that this news will be heartily greeted by all, not only because the hotel will replace these dilapidated buildings, but also because the new hotel at Kingsland will create much needed new jobs. You will see what I mean (about being an eyesore) by viewing the photos below:
