| Ddisgrifiad / Description | 'Professor' John Codman presented Punch and Judy on the Promenade in Llandudno for 41 years and never missed a season. He died in April 1980.
In 1864, the Improvement Commissioners banned 'Punch and Judy, His Dog and all the Noisy Paraphernalia belonging thereto'. Richard Codman successfully appealed against the banishment and there has been a Codman on the Llandudno waterfront ever since. It was Codman's first season. He was aged 33 and had arrived that year in his gypsy caravan and he became stranded when his horse died.
