Although the surrounding villages did (and in some cases still do) have a few small shops, most retail outlets have always been in the centre of Llangollen. Whilst some of the everyday shops, such as grocers, ironmongers and butchers remain, many others like plumbers, shoe shops and clothes shops have given way to an increasing number of tourist events.
Below are shown just a few photographs from the turn of the 20th century of some of the shops that previously existed in Llangollen.
