Carnarvon & North Wales 1920/1: Ward & Lock's Illustrated Guide

This guide was aimed at tourists who would have taken their holidays in north Wales, and contains extensive details of the area's costal resorts, as well as inland destinations such as Snowdon. It should be remembered that north Wales was a popular destination for folks from Lancashire, who would stay there in the 'wakes weeks'.

Narrative information, photographs, maps and street plans show places such as Carnarvon, Bangor and the Isle of Anglesey, while as the gateway to north Wales, Chester also features extensively.

The advertisements for establishments such as the Empire Hotel at Llandudno, as well as the lists of attractions at such resorts - bathing, clubs, golf, places of worship, tennis and croquet - give a good indication as to how our ancestors might have enjoyed their annual holiday nearly a century ago.
