Gerddi Bluog
Clough's own copy of the Shell Guide to North Wales, into which he has pasted a news cutting about the opening of Gerddi Bluog as a youth hostel (it's since ceased to be one), which mentions that "the recent extensions were made to the design of Clough William Ellis [sic] the architect famous for Portmeirion".
Clough has added a handwritten note to this -
"Yes, but the monstrous further wing that over-powers the scene + upsets the balance of the of the facade was blown up [ie enlarged] by the owner without my knowledge or consent, entirely disastrous both inside and out.
"I drafted the original plans but did not act as contracting architect. The local authority threatened to demolish this over sized wing because of its departure from any plan"
