History
The Craig-y-Don area was not part of the Mostyn holdings in Llandudno. In June 1884, land was sold as freeholds, rather than the Mostyn leaseholds; 2210 acres (987.87ha) were sold in 3 days. All of Craig-y-Don Parade was built by the time of the OS map of 1888.

One of a terrace of 17 buildings, numbered starting from W end.
