Llandudno at Work People and Industries Through the Years by Peter Johnson  charts the life of the ‘Queen of the Welsh Resorts’ from the towns early days, through two world wars and then into the twenty-first century as Llandudno continues to evolve and thrive as a popular holiday destination.

During the mid-nineteenth century Llandudno became a destination for holidaymakers and visitors. Founded by Lord Mostyn and his family, the town embraced the tourist industry with hotels, stagecoaches, traditional Punch and Judy, postcard kings, museums, the lifeboat, Bronze Age copper mines and colourful characters such as the famous ‘Birdman’ of the early 1900s, amongst others who have worked and continue to work to serve the tourist industry and the town itself.
