Scope and Content

PHOTOGRAPH ALBUM: Royal Welsh Agricultural Show, Llanelwedd. Anglesey Feature.

Administrative / Biographical History

The Royal Welsh Show came to Llanelwedd at Builth Wells for the first time on 23 July 1963. Before then it had led a peripatetic life, the show being held at no fewer than 37 different locations, alternating between the north and the south. The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society was founded in 1904. It was then called, simply, the Welsh National Agricultural Society and the inaugural meeting, when rules and regulations were set down, took place at the House of Commons in London. Twenty well-known and established figures from the field of agriculture made up the initial forum and right from the start it was clear that the main aim of the society was to encourage the growth and development of agriculture throughout the whole of Wales. The Society held its first annual show at Aberystwyth in 1904, the year of its creation.
