Llandudno has an intriguing history stretching back to the Bronze Age over 4,000 years ago. Much of its past focuses on the magnificent Great Orme where St Tudno first established a church in the sixth century, yet it is in the development of the stylish resort town in the mid-nineteenth century that Llandudno was truly shaped, creating what is now regarded as Britain's best preserved Victorian resort. This fascinating collection of over 200 photographs offers an in-depth look at the history of Llandudno over the last 150 years, taking the reader on a journey around the streets and buildings, recalling people and events which have shaped the character of the town. The result is a volume which will delight anyone who has lived in, or has fond memories of visiting the 'Queen of the Welsh Resorts'.
