Comment
The Vale of Ffestiniog site is interesting and mentions:Walking through the Victorian Village you have an opportunity to convert currency, not to euros but back in time, with the prevailing rate of £2-40 to sixpence. The sixpence goes a long way in Ffestin’s sweet shop, with its shelves of glass jars filled with traditional boiled sweets, and can quench a thirst in the bar of the Miners Arms.
