History

Built c1936. By North & Padmore, Architects, of Llanfairfechan. (Herbert Luck North (1871 1941) and P M Padmore (b 1896)).

The Close was laid out and developed between 1899 and 1945, instigated by H L North, outstanding Arts and Crafts architect of his age in Wales. The almost unaltered buildings (in materials making reference to local vernacular building styles), and the lay out of The Close, form a textbook example of a group of high quality Arts and Crafts style domestic architecture unique in Wales.
