Rugged mountains on 3 sides and sandy beaches along the shore. Slate from Blaenau was the cutting edge of lightweight, roofing technology – grey gold. For years it came down by packhorse to the quays on the Afon Dwyryd and was rowed out on the tide past Portmeirion to waiting ships. Victorian ingenuity marks the mountain with what look like enormous ski jumps – beds on which pairs of tramways operated with the weight of a downhill wagon hauling an empty one back up. These connected to the Ffestiniog Railway which opened in 1836 as a gravity train with horses pulling the empty wagons back to Blaenau. The final mile of the railway runs along The Cob, an embankment built by William Madocks to hold back the sea. A natural by-product of this was a deep water port at the northern end, hence Madocks’s Port became Porthmadog, where boats and yachts now bob at their moorings.

    OAKELEY SLATE The History of The Oakeley Slate Quarries Blaenau Ffestiniog PART THREE 1920 – 1968 From Peace to War and Back again Graham Isherwood - 2 - The History of The Oakeley Slate Quarries Blaenau Ffestiniog PART THREE 1920-1968 From Peace to War and Back again Continued from:- PART ONE 1800-1889 From Beginnings And PART TWO 1889 – 1920 From Amalgamation to the Great War to the Great Fall - 3 - 26 DEVELOPMENT AND DISASTER I, 1920 - 39 In the years following the First World war, the Oakeley Quarries faced many problems. Some were familiar - that big fall in 1912 having affected the western workings from floor 1 down to M within the area of walls 22 to 30. The Back Vein, mostly in the Upper and Middle Quarry was either cut off or worked out. The North Vein, apart from the isolated section on G floor, was not in work at all. The main workings were in the New Vein, these being developed both east and west from various points of access on all floors from G downwards. While most of the rather narrow New Vein in the Middle and Upper Quarries had been worked out, there were still isolated parts which were available. A summary of chambers at this time reveals that there were 47 chambers in work in the New Vein compared to 3 in work and 2 nearly ready in the Old Vein - a vast change in the state of things. The main areas available for development were: i) The New Vein in the Lower Quarry on the existing floors to east and west.

Site Evaluation Grade II* Primary reasons for grading The survival more or less intact of a fine mid- Victorian landscaped estate of house, garden, wooded park, valley and estate village, set in the magnificent scenery of the Ffestinog area of north Wales. From the house and its garden terrace there are outstandingly beautiful views across the landscape, and conversely the house and garden form a conspicuous and picturesque object within it. Type of Site Mainly informal gardens, terrace with views, woodlands, remains of walled gardens. Main Phases of Construction Nineteenth century SITE DESCRIPTION Plas Tan-y-Bwlch is situated on the north side of the western part of the Vale of Ffestiniog (locally known as the Vale of Maentwrog), part way up the very steep valley side and looking south-eastwards over the Vale, the Afon Dwyryd and the village of Maentwrog, with the mountains of Meirionnydd beyond. The house is built on a relatively narrow terrace, its long axis running with the hillside, south-west to north-east, and there is a narrow courtyard behind with outbuildings against the hillside at the back. There are further courtyards outside, to north-east and south- west, both used as car parks, the former now tarmac-surfaced and the latter with a variety of surfaces including tarmac, slate waste and paving.
