§ Mr. R. ThompsonFor many years the Ministry has produced excellent guides to the monuments in its charge. With the very large increase in attendances during the last few years, now running at 6¾ million a year, there has arisen a demand far guides of a more popular nature. These are now being provided. The four latest, for our castles at Conway, Caernarvon, Beaumaris and Harlech, have recently been put on sale.
