Report - Bryn Awel, Mold. November 2019

[grindle]

Gregory Shankar, 53, was jailed for 15 months in February 2010 after admitting stealing £66k from the Flintshire festival, of which he is a former chairman.

Shankar, from Mold, Flintshire, used festival funds to prop up his own failing business.

At the time, he owned the Bryn Awel Hotel in Mold, and admitted two fraud charges after taking money from the Mold Hotel and Restaurant Association, which was set up to run the annual festival.

The 18-bedroom hotel closed in 2011 after being a key part of the town’s tourism trade for more than 50 years.

I remember the wallpaper in there - the place had scaffolding at one end at some stage.

Nice report. Wow who the hell designed those rooms. That pink bathroom is hideous and the wall paper in a bedroom lol. Those tiles in the hall downstairs, were they really clay mural ? if so they are something else. Looks like a lot of them still in tact.
