Llandudno is a popular seaside town on the north coast of Wales. Developed as a holiday resort in the Victorian era, it had previously been 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 found fame with his pet donkey 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 man who faked his own death, and much, much more.
In Quirky Llandudno author Adrian Hughes delves into tales of strange occurrences, idiosyncratic animals and tucked-away historical locations from Llandudno’s past. This fascinating insight into the more unusual history of the ‘Queen of the Welsh Resorts’ will be of interest to all those who want to know more about the town’s quirky history.
