I can't find much about the history of that building.
It's not quite as grand as it might appear on that photo, it looks like it was designed to look most impressive from the road.
It was there in 1887 but I can't find any older maps or references to it.

No, this is on the edge of a more populated area.

I don't think that sort of mining occurred round these parts - more of a quarry industry & possibly some minerals.

Are any clues needed? I can't Telford you exactly where it is, but it might help, I don't want to keep you in suspense ion

That could be A Bridge Too Far!

Or a bridge not quite far enough, apparently! That surely narrows it down only to one of two areas in North Wales and I can't make either of them fit. One of them is those hills just south of Conwy where there was some encouragement that it might be vaguely on the right lines and I keep thinking some of the hills look the right shape but I've wasted too much time already streetviewing along every conceivable road and failing to find a match...

Me too! Even found a road in that area with a 2T limit sign but couldn't find a decent match for the photo

Just leaving Conwy on the Sychnant Pass Road:
No the first time I've viewed that road in the last couple of days...

Correct sir!
The hill is conwy mountain.
Nice walk from here to the top of the "mountain" for great views of North Wales and the sea

That was an excellent puzzle. It didn't occur to me for a long time to go that far down into Conwy, assuming that it was well out into the country. I convinced myself that the two roads joining from the left were to do with a holiday site or perhaps a military base. It was much simpler.
For the next one, a slight deviation if @ColinJ is OK with it. This is one of my late mother's pictures from the mid 2000s; I probably haven't ridden this road, and I don't know where it is, so I'll be telling you all I know instead of drip-feeding clues. If I end up being first to solve it I'll award the win to whoever gave the most help, in true House of Games style:
It's obviously Scotland, and I think it's most likely to be somewhere between Auchterarder and the Loch Torridon area. Given that, you'd think the big mountain in the distance ought to be Ben Lawers, but I've singularly failed to achieve any sort of match so far. It looks distinctive enough to be recognised though.

I don't have any objection, but good luck with that - I don't have a hope of working out where it is!
