Magic Lantern slide circa 1900 hand coloured. created in 1887. A tour of North Wales. Llangollen—the River and Barber's Hill. —This scene, whilst displaying the river to more ad¬vantage, is a fair specimen of the beauty of Llangollen's neighbourhood. For quiet rest and gentle exercise, few similar natural pleasure resorts are to be found in Wales. Llangollen is celebrated as once being the home of two ladies who declared their independence and desire to avoid matrimonial engagement by living alone, in a little cottage still to be seen on the South side of the vale. The fact is recorded in the Welsh song :— “ In the Vale of Llangollen a cottage ia seen, Well shelter'd from tempests by shades ever green, . There the daisy first opens its eye to the day, And the hawthorn first blooms on the bosom of May. There, far from the haunts of ambition and pride. Contentment and virtue and friendship abide, And Nature complacent smiles sweet on the pair, Who have spendour forsaken, to worship her there.”
