Besting Mister Mostyn

Description

“But it isn’t a hut, it’s a home.”

The Mostyns are a rich and powerful family. In 1843 the head of the family is granted permission by Act of Parliament to enclose common land near what is now the North Wales coastal town of Llandudno. The local people who originally lived on that land are turned out of their homes. Mostyn proceeds to develop the land into a fashionable Victorian tourist resort.
