More about this scene
The creeper-clad Dinorben Arms Hotel (left) and the Eleth Hotel provided good quality accommodation in the 1930s. The Dinorban was first listed as a hotel in 1828 when it was called the Ty Mawr; it was used as a court house before that. In 1784 it was recorded that a young man, William Roberts, was stripped to the waist, placed on horseback and flogged all the way to the port and back for stealing. The town and port had prospered owing to the mining activity on nearby Parys Mountain, which was the world's largest copper mine during the 18th and 19th centuries. The Eleth Hotel was demolished in 1962.
