In the short time I had been in England I regrettably had lost my Welsh, now I was back in a Welsh-speaking school with several other evacuees from Liverpool and Birkenhead Sardinia: Cymry yn area and our two teachers - Miss Richards and Mrs Pugh - did 'ddiogel' a wonderful job educating children up to school leaving age in Pontio: Dim prif both Welsh and English. weithredwr Having passed to go to Towyn County School, six or seven Upper Corris children had to travel daily - up in the morning at 6am, out at 6.30, walk to Lower Corris to get the 7am Crosville bus (with possibly Jack Talybont driving) then catch the train from Machynlleth around the coast via Dovey Junction, Pennal, Aberdovey to Towyn, and then the reverse journey to get home in the evening - a 12 hour day (plus homework). One sad memory is of my young neighbour in Braich Goch Terrace. Though there was a difference in ages, we were great pals and roamed the hills behind our homes, sometimes collecting moss for the Red Cross to make bandages with. He was soon to enlist in the Royal Marines and lost his life in the landings at Salerno, Italy, in September 1943. I still have on my bookshelf a book given to me by his mother in his memory. My sister found employment in Tynycornel Royal Hotel during these early war years and we re-joined my father in Coventry in 1944. Much water has gone under Dyfi Bridge since then. More memories from Ken Jones. your comments ken jones Coventry recent sighting of UFO 's triggered another amusing memory. when staying at Gaerwen Hall with my Uncle and Aunty and family, my late cousin Bill had been working all day on the mountain opposite to Gaerwen cutting ferns for winter bedding. After dark he remembered he had left a billhook there and decided to go and retrieve it by the light of a lantern. Of course the light was spotted and with the usual aircraft going overhead persons unknown reported it to the local policeman of that day thinking someone was signalling to the enemy aircraft. The police turned out (just the one from Lower Corris) but by then my cousin was back having retrieved the billhook and only a few of us at Gaerwen ever knew of the mysterious flashing lights. Mon Aug 24 11:53:34 2009 Ian Roberts, Warwickshire I too was a product of Corris Uchaf. Only now, 40 years on, do I fully appreciate the serenity of the place nestled within those beautiful hills, within 2 miles of one of the UK's most scenic valleys - Talyllyn, moulded by the ice - and the incredibly scenic south slopes of Cader Idris with its Paleaozoic pillow lavas and pyroclastics. Having moved away 33 years ago I still hold very sweet memories of the place after spending 17 years of my life there, and I finally emerged with a rounded education thanks to the efforts of Miss Pugh (Tynyberth Primary School) and Mr Foster Evans (Tywyn Grammar School)- both of which set me off on my academic pathway by 1972. We lived at the family-owned "Corris House Stores" with Eddie Roberts (my dad) at the helm. They were hard years, but they instilled some good moral fibre. I still have memories of the old slate spoil heaps, those trout-laiden brooks where fishing was free and easy. I remember too the many exploits into those underground caverns we regularly explored (heaven forbid in today's risk-assessed society). I also recall digging out vehicles along the old backroad throughout the very heavy snows during the winters of the 1960s, the strong influence of the local Methodist chapel in the village, and those long 15 mile journeys on the Crosville bus to Towyn each morning. Now I speed to work everyday on fast dual carriageways, fight with morning queues, and at the end of the month I long for a break in the sanity of rural Wales. Where did I go adrift? Tue May 5 10:16:15 2009 Pat Hague My maternal Grandmother and family ran Tynyfridd shop and the Lower Corris shop. I have the famiy tree and photos. My mothers family were the Pugh Jones. The 1841 to 1901 census, I have all their details. Mon Apr 20 09:24:03 2009 ann bradshaw from rhyl My Dad, Archie Clark and his brothers' and sisters' were evacuated to Corris. During our childhood dad took us to Corris to show us where he was. He returns everycouple of years and has very fond memoriesof the place. Does anyone know if there is anywhere there that has archives that you can look at? We are going back with himin the summer and it would be great if any library or anywhere has any photos of the children. i know he would be absolutelymade up with any information. Mon Feb 2 09:49:11 2009 Aled Hughes, Corris Wow, it's been so amazing reading your experience in Corris. Yes it is still a wonderful place, but unfortunately not as busy due to the demise of the quarrying industry. I was born in Upper Corris in 1966 and now live in Corris. There is a reunion of Tynyberth School pupils at Corris Institute this month. Fri Jun 6 15:45:06 2008 Andrew Turner Wellington New Zealand I stayed at the store run by the Owens in 1959 for about 6 weeks. I was an apprentice electrician assisting an electrician named Fred Smith to install a hammer mill at the Braich Goch Quarry. I was 16 years old and fell in love with Wales and the Corris people during that time. I remember a girl who helped with the B&B business. I fell in love with her too. I remember hearing the waterfall in the little stream behind the house. I fell asleep listening to it. The mill was to try and revitalise the flagging quarry business by producing a very fine powder made from waste slate chips. An article appeared in the main Liverpool paper at about that time. A photograph of myself, Fred, Bob Owen and other quarry workers was published with the article in 1959. I have never forgotten those weeks. Mon Apr 7 09:41:31 2008 Gwen Smart. Bournemouthr.e I lived at the little cottage behind Tyn-y-ffridd stores about 1965. having moved from Gwelfryn. 3doors away, I can remember the shop when it was owned by a Miss Jones, she would send me on errands and repay me with a damp "Marie biscuit" which was kept in a tin by the back door! Then the shop was owned by Mr and Mrs Owen who ran it as a B and B and grocers.I was their first customer and bought a packet of Spangles.

The Strategy has been drawn-up following a number of opportunities for full participation by Ynys Mon Councillors At this stage the Council is being asked to adopt the Strategy for the purposes of public consultation.
