Scope and Content

from the Liverpool Daily Post containing an article entitled 'Memories of a gold rush' edited by Ivor Wynne Jones.

The article quotes from a letter written from Bendigo, South Australia in July 1853 by Thomas Thomas, brother of Dr. Henry Thomas who for many years owned the Llandudno Hydropathic establishment, now the Hydro Hotel. The letter describes the feelings of the gold prospector of the time.
