Who Was John Rowlands? WelshBloke walking

Who Was John Rowlands? WelshBloke walking
John Rowlands was born in Denbigh in 1841. Despite a very poor childhood and an appalling upbringing, in adult life he became world famous - under another name.
Some regard him as a hero, others as a manipulative psychopath. Follow my journey in this video and decide for yourself.

    Wow... very interesting, together with the now-to-be-expected (but never taken for granted) excellent filming. And yes, I also saw the ghoul.

    Glad you enjoyed it! The ghoul was a little allusion to the fact that the local population consider that location (Goblin tower), to be haunted :)

    I love this stuff. I'm a Jones with southern Welsh roots on my father's side, but my mother's Williams and Watkins came from Denbighshire, specifically Llangollen.

    Ah, Llangollen is a beautiful area. I was there not long ago - kzread.info/dash/bejne/a2t5xs6NmNPapNI.html

    That great view must have enspired the young boy who would travel the great world beyond those hills in later life to make his fortune
