Croeso/Welcome
Stori Pen is a community company (not for profit) based in Penmaenmawr on the North Wales coast, between Conwy and Bangor. Penmaenmawr has a small museum on the west end of the town on the road through the town. Its name is known as 'New York Cottages'.
Part of Stori Pen's mission is to produce books capturing social history. Heritage walking books have also been produced in conjunction with Conwy county Borough Council's countryside service.
One of the founder directors of Stori Pen is a member of the UNESCO Cymru committee. The committee are collaborating with various local bodies in Wales to capture living history. In the Conwy county much of the heritage, culture and nature are captured in a number of attractive booklets produced by the Countryside Service.
The booklets are shown and listed on the website. Many of the booklets have a PDF on the web. If hard copies are required please contact Conwy Countryside Service, shown on the links provided.
David Bathers, a member of the company and UNESCO Wales/Cymru has collected these works and with Lian Jones scanned them onto a convenient database which hopefully will be part of a UNESCO database on intangible living history. It is felt that the Stori Pen and Conwy County Council booklets form a very useful guide to Conwy county which has several large towns, such as, Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Llanrwst, Penmaenmawr and Llanfairfechan. The area also covers part of the Snowdonia National park with its popular inland resort of Betws Y Coed. The area is very accessible by the forms of transport which features in the description in the books.
