The mystery pile of shells discovered in town’s car park

The scallop shells have been fenced off

The mound of scallop shells has been fenced off in the Beacons car park adjacent to Conwy town’s marina.

When a photo was shared online, seeking answers, the finger was initially pointed in the wrong direction.

“Fly-tippers are so shellfish,” was one genius comment. Another man quipped: “The reason escallops me...”

It's thought the shells are leftovers from an ambitious plan to create a huge artificial reef between Conwy and Deganwy marinas.

Some 660 tonnes of limestone gravel were laid in the estuary and this summer it was covered by 20 tonnes of crushed scallop shells.
