A celebration of Llandudno’s individual and often strange history – from eccentric characters to odd events and places
Llandudno is a popular seaside town on the north coast of Wales. Developed as a resort in the Victoria era, it was also a centre of copper mining, the remains of which can be seen today and the town’s history encompasses many tales of remarkable events and colourful characters, from the legend of the unnatural man made of hay, the Victorian man who set himself alight three times a day for the amusement of visitors, and the woman baker who summoned locals by conch shell, to the memorial to the woman who drove a car up the Great Orme in 1914, the church demolished by landowners who claimed the high street was no place for religion and much, much more.
In Quirky Llandudno author Adrian Hughes delves into lesser known but fascinating tales from Llandudno’s past. In this book, readers will find stories of the unusual and often strange history of Llandudno and its characters over the years. This fascinating insight into Llandudno will be of interest to all those who want to know more about the town’s quirky history.
