Title: Llandudno Building Society
Post by: DaveR on August 25, 2011, 02:30:59 pm

Whilst having a Google for info about Plas Tudno, I found this document in the Gwynedd Archives - the papers of the Llandudno Permanent Building Society.

It's fascinating, as it contains details of many of the prominent people and businesses in the town at the time (1860s-70s).

Examples:

There's an entry relating to Plas Tudno. A daughter of the owner W.H. Reece maybe?

Martha was one of William Henry Reece's sisters, his daughter was Marianna and another sister of his was Emma.
