Rare straw work picture / Llun prin o wneuthuriad gwellt
A rare folk-art straw work and water colour picture depictingThe NorthWales Hospital which is also known as the Denbigh Asylum. Similar straw work pictures are known, and often depict the Menai Straits and Conwy Castle. It has been thought that they may have been made by patients at the Glan-y-don hospital in Colwyn Bay, as a form of occupational therapy, but they might also have been made at the North Wales hospital.
