Kelly's Directory 1895: Llangorse | ||
Here is the entry for the community
of Llangorse. You can see at the top

Notice that there are signs here of the growing tourist industry. Robert Jones and Thomas Jones both have apartments to let to visitors. The opening of the railway made it easier for people from the towns and cities to visit this beautiful part of Breconshire |
