Scope and Content

Huw is shown posing in front of rocks with Llandudno north shore in the background. To the middle-left a crowd of people can be seen standing around a boat on a wheeled cart (possibly Llandudno's first lifeboat 'Sisters Memorial').

His great grandson, Christmas Tudno Jones retired as Second Coxswain in 1981 after 27 years service in total.

Left of the gentleman's head a steeple is visible on the hotel skyline, possibly belonging to The English Methodist Church of St John.
