The Cymreigyddion Festival - the procession through Abergavenny, 1845. Cultural event in Wales. '...the President, Sir B. Hall, Bart., M.P. ...and his friends were met at the Cross, a mile from the town, on the Monmouth road, by the members and friends of the Society, when a scene of the most animated nature presented itself. A very handsome car, profusely decorated with evergreens, surmounted by a rich representation of a plume of feathers, and carrying a miniature printing press, which was worked by two lads dressed in Welsh woollen clothes, and skull caps of the same material, was drawn alongside the President's carriage, when Mr. Hopkin Morgan and Mr. James Hiley Morgan delivered the address in Welsh and English. The procession then filed down the road and through the town...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
