Radio: Marconi’s first radio transmission in 1897 was between two points in Wales
Mail Order: Welshman Pryce Jones from Newtown Montgomeryshire created the first Mail Order business in the World
Math: Robert Recorde of Pembrokeshire invented the “equal to†sign
Tennis: Lawn tennis was invented in 1873 by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield to entertain his guests at a garden party at Nantclwyd House in Llanelidan, Denbighshire
