The Rise of Benllech as a Seaside Village

Bag om The Rise of Benllech as a Seaside Village

Benllech, in Anglesey, Wales, was a 'poor straggling village' with a few small cottages by the beach for most of the 1800s. Yet, by the turn of the century, it had become a fashionable seaside resort. While the First World War impacted greatly on the community, its popularity continued to increase afterwards as more people arrived by train, car and bus. This book charts the rise of Benllech during the golden era of British seaside holidays up until the Second World War. It describes the community in the nineteenth century, its 'discovery' by curious travellers, and its subsequent growth. This is a fascinating account of the development of a seaside village and is illustrated with many photographs from the period.
