Report - Gwasg Gee Print Works, Denbigh - July 2012

Visited with JasperB and bumped into Clough and Sammydoublewhammy mid explore​

Gwasg Gee was a publishing firm founded by a printer, Thomas Gee, in 1808 and taken over by his son, a more famous Thomas Gee, during the 1830s and based in Denbigh, Wales. The name means "Gee Press".

In 1914, the business passed out of the hands of the Gee family, and it was in difficulties when the author Kate Roberts and her husband, Morris Williams took it on in the 1930s.

Gwasg Gee was one of the principal publishers of Welsh language books for almost two centuries. It ceased publishing in 2001.

I'd been wanting to visit here after seeing it on Britain's Heritage Heroes back in February, finally got around to going and was not disappointed at all.

Hopefully the trust that have formed to get this place open as a museum will be successful, would be a shame for this to be lost.

Thanks for looking
