Within the walls of the convent was a school Le Bon Sauveur - a castle-like structure which dominated the view of the town from the sea. The convent, occupied by a French order of nuns closed in 1983 and it and the school buildings were demolished in 1988. The site is now largely occupied by sheltered accommodation for the elderly, while the chapel has become the Ucheldre Centre. www.bbc.co.uk/wales/northwest/sites/holyhead/pages/bon_sauveur.shtml
