Bellowing, bleating and beasts …

Our friends at Cwmulus invite us to their next on-line talk by Mike Farnworth. At 7:00pm on Friday 9 May, it’s entitled “Bellowing, bleating, and beasts on the banknotes – the drovers of Ceredigion”.

It was as if they were made for each other. Mid-Wales had cattle and an appetite for money. London had money and an appetite for beef.

But between them were mountains, rivers. robbers, and a two hundred mile walk. At least there were plenty of pubs.

This talk tells how the drovers of Ceredigion developed their trade over centuries, taking livestock to London, bringing wealth back to Wales, and building some banks on the way.
