What is recorded here

Castle Pharmacy stands in Gwynedd as a nineteenth-century chemists shop, preserving the moment when local medicine left household kitchens and entered professional hands. It may have smelled of bitter herbs, warm wax and fear before a doctor arrived. The building still belongs to the post-medieval world where death was common and relief came slowly.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castle Pharmacy as Chemists Shop from the Post Medieval; 19th Century period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
