Which roughly translates as, if I remember correctly: "the small card shop next to the River Dee in Llangollen" (I'm sure any Welsh speakers will correct my translation)

Thanks everyone, we saw an equally long and unpronounceable sign, which I didn't photograph in Corwen 'Canhwyllauachreeftauynyrhendygwaithcorwen'
