More about this scene
Here the street is seemingly deserted in the sunlight, save for a few parked cars; one is waiting outside the Plas Coch Hotel. In the 18th century Bala was a centre for the great religious revival that led to Welsh nonconformism. The town was once known for the manufacture of knitted woollen stockings and gloves, and it is said that George III wore stockings knitted here; much of the knitting was done in the open air.
