... that the shop in Cairo Robert Williams designed for the Davis Bryan Company became a site of "pilgrimage for all Welsh travellers" to Egypt? Source: "Following the success of the new store in Alexandria, the Davies Bryan brothers enlisted the help of Robert Williams (1848–1918), a Welsh architect from Merthyr Tydl who had been working in Egypt as a consultant to the Egyptian government (Brodie, 2001: p. 1004) to design a new store." and "the Davies Bryan store in Cairo became a monument for the Welsh presence in Egypt and an important place of pilgrimage for all Welsh travellers who ventured to the land of the Nile" from Cooke, Neil; Daubney, Vanessa (24 July 2017).
