RHYL - New buildings for Mr R Oldfield have been erected at Rhyl, designed with the idea of breaking through the monotony of the present street architecture of Rhyl, which consists chiefly of the ordinary stuccoed fronts that are so well known at many of our favourite watering places. The works, which are now almost completed, have been carried out from the designs and under the superintendence of Mr O Edwards, of Rhyl, and Mr William Owen, of Manchester. The buildings are faced throughout with 2 inch red bricks. The works have been carried out by Mr J. Rhydwen Jones, contractor, Rhyl, and the total cost is under £4,000.
