This turned out to be a reprinted version of "Some Account of Llangollen" 
with some updating of footnotes etc.  What was interesting was than an 
Englishman wrote the first book and spelt the English words correctly but 
got lots of the Welsh ones wrong, whereas a Welsh printer in Llangollen 
who presumably didn't have much English, produced the "History" book and 
corrected the Welsh words but made major mistakes on the English ones.

Anyway, I've learnt that the Mill became the flannal factory and that's an 
important thing for me to know so well worth it!

All the best,
David
