David Davies (textile merchant)

Sir David Sanders Davies JP (11 May 1852 – 28 February 1934) was a Welsh businessman, merchant and Liberal Party politician.

In 1913 he presented 244 acres (0.99 km2) of land near Denbigh, worth £5000, to the Welsh National Memorial Association for the building of a sanatorium for people suffering from Tuberculosis.

[16] Davies did not contest Denbigh again, intimating as early as the autumn of 1921 that he wished to stand down at the next election (by which time he would be 70 years old).

It was reported at that time that his likely successor as Coalition Liberal candidate would be Alderman Walter Gummow Dodd, the Chairman of the Denbighshire Education Committee.

[17] Dodd was not selected however but the seat was won by another member of the Denbighshire Education establishment, John Cledwyn Davies, for the Lloyd George National Liberals.
