📅 This Month in Llandudno History
July has always been a special time in Llandudno. For generations, visitors have arrived to enjoy the fresh sea air, the promenade and the many attractions that have made the town a favourite seaside destination.
This painting by Gordon Close captures the atmosphere of a summer day in Llandudno, with people enjoying time together and reflecting the character and charm of a traditional seaside holiday.
From Victorian holidaymakers discovering the “Queen of Welsh Resorts” to families enjoying seaside days today, Llandudno continues to be a place where memories are made.
Do you recognise this scene or have your own favourite Llandudno summer memory?

Ladies in the 20s looked so glamourous in their silks and satins. So they have my vote.
What catches a student's eye in a museum? 🎨
This drawing of Blodwen, the 5,500-year-old skeleton known as the Lady of the Little Orme, was created by one of the students from Llandrillo College, who have spent the past few weeks exploring the museum and creating artwork inspired by the objects and stories that captured their imagination.
Dating back around 5,500 years, Blodwen has provided archaeologists with a remarkable insight into life in Neolithic Wales, helping us better understand the people who lived here thousands of years ago.
Come and meet Blodwen for yourself and discover her fascinating story at Llandudno Museum!
We'll be sharing more of the students' fantastic drawings over the coming weeks.
Did you know Llandudno had a resident Neolithic skeleton?💀 ... See MoreSee Less

To mark the 4th of July, did you know Wales has an unexpected connection to the Washington Monument?
Hidden inside one of America's most iconic landmarks is a commemorative stone presented by members of the Welsh community in New York during the 1850s. The stone, which came from a quarry near Swansea, bears a Welsh inscription and stands as a lasting symbol of the historic links between Wales and the United States.
"Fy Iaith, Fy Ngwlad, Fy Nghenedl. Cymry am Byth."
"My language, my country, my nation. The Welsh forever."
The stone also reflects the contribution of Welsh people to the founding of the United States. Francis Lewis, who was born in Llandaff, was one of the 56 signatories of the Declaration of Independence. Historians believe that at least five of the signatories had Welsh roots, with some estimates suggesting there may have been as many as sixteen.
See the commemorative stone for yourself on the U.S. National Park Service website:

@elizabethexploreshistory this felt like a story right up your street!
