Hi, i would say try Bangor uni archives - i remember there been lots of ancient bound newspapers down in the Stack archives in the basement. they hold local papers.

Try contacting the issue desk at the library - im sure they can tell you where to get hold of them.

Hi
just seen your post asking for old newspapers.
I know that there are many N Wales old newspapers on micro film at the archives in Ruthin, which is in the old gaol.

You will find the North Wales Pioneer and the Weekly News at the Conwy Archives, Old board School Llandudno. They are actual newspapers that you can sit and read. they cover both Trefriw and Llanrwst. The archivists do look ups but there is a fee.
