See what Turner saw today


The painter JMW Turner painted Conwy Castle from the west c.1800. Now you can download his painting ...
to your mobile phone by scanning our QR code at Llanrwst Road - then compare what he saw with the same scene today. We've done the same for a 1794 painting by JC Ibbetson - use the QR code on the low flood-defence wall by Lower Gate Street (north end). You can also view the paintings here: Turner Ibbetson
