The heritage of quarrying at Llanfairfechan is shown in the vernacular style where the local dark-grey stone is complemented by yellow brick for window and door openings which would be difficult to execute in the hard, uneven stone. Yellow bricks were produced in Flintshire from under-clays associated with the coal strata.
