Scope and Content

Miscellaneous Papers re Anglesey Agricultural Society.

Administrative / Biographical History

The first Anglesey Agricultural Society was launched on May 12th and June 6th 1808. The mission of the society was to develop and foster agricultural reforms throughout the whole agricultural spectrum. By the mid 1840’s agriculture had been paralysed by the potato blight. The Anglesey Agricultural Society had withered away by 1846.

After Sir Richard Williams-Bulkeley spoke of the good done by the original society, the new Anglesey and Caernarvonshire Agricultural Society was formed on October 13th 1851. It was decided to arrange and hold an annual show at Bangor, Caernarfon and Llangefni in turn. By 1872 Anglesey farmers were protesting about paying bridge tolls for taking their animals to the mainland shows, they decided to break away and revert back to the Anglesey Agricultural Society (take two). On May 23rd 1872 a meeting was held to draw up a schedule for premiums and to elect officers for the new society.
