Scrapbook contains newspaper cuttings (both local and national press), photographs, memorial service leaflets, Easter and Christmas cards, notices of social events involving local landed gentry, letters, telegrams and ephemera. The compiler is Frances Anne Hughes (died 19/03/1923) of Bodhyfryd, Abergele - daughter of H.R. Hughes and Lady Florentia Hughes of Kinmel Hall. The family has the remainder of the series of scrapbooks.
The subject matter of the scrapbook reflects the time of its compilation and includes much related to the First World War and its effect both on North Wales society, largely in the loss of sons, and on the wider world. It also includes local and national weddings and social events, church matters and so on. Places of interest referred to in the scrapbook include Abergele, Llanddulas, Bodelwyddan Castle, Gwrych Castle, Coed Coch Estate and the village of St George.
