Summary

Description
English: The Pritchard-Jones Institute John Pritchard Jones was a local lad made good. Having received only an elementary education he gravitated to London and eventually became the co-founder of the Regent Street store of Dickens & Jones. Much of the money he made came back to North Wales - both to his native village and to the University College of North Wales at Bangor. The institute and six alms houses were constructed between 1902 and 1905. John's brother, R.P.Jones had an outfitters store on the square at Newborough. At sale times he would fetch suites and dresses from his brother's Regent Street store to sell in Newborough, which became a mecca for the fashionistas of North Wales.
