Brynach’s period as editor has been marked by a number of innovations. Firstly, he reintroduced to the journal poetry relating to Brecknock – both in English and in Welsh. And in connection with this, he developed the use of the Society’s website (http://www.brecknocksociety.co.uk/society.htm) to provide English translations of poems and other items that had appeared in the journal in Welsh. He introduced the idea of a colour picture on the dust-wrapper and most importantly he worked effectively with the National Library of Wales over the digitisation of back numbers of Brycheiniog and their appearance on line at http://welshjournals.llgc.org.uk/. Our arrangement with the Library is such that an issue of the journal is available in hard copy for at least five years and that it is then digitised, although the speed of this latter process depends on resources available at the Library. At the time of writing, volumes 1 to 35 (2003) are available on line. In preparing this volume for the printers, I have been greatly helped by a number of Society members, who have given generously of their time in reviewing manuscripts and, in a number of cases, helping to prepare them for publication. I think that we have gathered here a varied selection of papers, reflecting many different aspects of the historic county of Breconshire, and I very much hope that you will enjoy reading them. They include two on archaeology, one describing detailed evidence of ‘multi-period’ (principally pre-historic) activity on the moorland surrounding the upper reaches of the river Hepste, while the other describes research commissioned in conjunction with the establishment of the National Grid gas pipeline from Brecon to Hay. Then there are two papers dealing with ownership of land in Brecknock. One of these covers the events associated with the sale in 1915 of Breconshire part the Tredegar Estate, while the other uses the history of Brecon forest, near Llaneglwys, to evaluate the Forestry Commission’s attitude towards rural employment and housing over an 80 year period. There are interesting links between these two articles and one on the impact on the local inhabitants of the creation of the reservoirs in the Cwmtaf valley on the southern slopes of the Brecon Beacons. There is a fascinating piece of detective work on the location of a lost inn in the Usk valley and a family memoir on the erstwhile Brecon and Merthyr Railway. Finally there is an examination of a recent acquisition by the Brecknock Museum & Art Gallery showing the way in which the water-colourist John Varley allowed his imagination to determine the appearance of the town of Brecon itself. Since the publication of the first volume of Brycheiniog in 1955, the world has changed immeasurably. To reflect this the Executive Council of the Brecknock Society & Museum Friends has decided that a review of Brycheiniog is timely, to ensure that it continues to follow high standards of research and to make a significant contribution to the archaeology, history, geology, natural history, arts and literature of the historic county of Brecknock. 81343_Brycheiniog_Vol_45:44036_Brycheiniog_2005 27/4/16 12:13 Page 6 8 Brycheiniog The issues being covered include: – The purposes of the journal: Is it sufficiently comprehensive in terms of coverage of the various features of Brecknock as outlined above? Does it meet the expectations of existing and potential researchers and readers, as individual subscribers and as library users? – The characteristics of the journal: for example, is there an appropriate balance between original pieces of research and review articles? Is the author base sufficiently wide? – The design and layout of the journal: Are appropriate decisions being made in respect of matters such as the relative use of colour and B&W photographs, the use of appendices etc. Other matters to be assessed include the continuing requirement (or otherwise) for a hard copy publication; If there is such a requirement, how long should it be before a volume goes on line? How does Brycheiniog compares with other current publications with a focus on a particular geographical area? What is the scope for widening the non-member subscriber base? The review will be conducted by a sub-group of Executive Council members and will report back to a Council meeting later this year. If you, as a reader, have thoughts on this matter, I would very much like you to let me have them. You can do this either by email at [email protected] or by post to the Society’s address for correspondence. Finally, I would like to record the thanks of the Society for the financial help that it receives towards the publication of Brycheiniog from the Brecon Town Council and from Powys County Council. 81343_Brycheiniog_Vol_45:44036_Brycheiniog_2005 27/4/16 12:13 Page 7 CYFRANNWYR / CONTRIBUTORS The late Anthony Bell was a long-standing and highly regarded member of the Brecknock Society & Museum Friends. He served on the Executive Council and held several offices, most notably that of Treasurer. His professional life was spent in education, ending as Assistant Director of Education for Powys County Council. A man of many interests, he was a distinguished local historian, as his article on the Tredegar Estate Sale bears witness. Charles Gordon Clark, a former Anglican clergyman, began the study reported here as part of an OU “Changing Countryside” course while a National Trust trainee living in Llaneglwys. He subsequently worked from there as a dry stone waller, and now lives in Herefordshire where he is secretary of the Bromyard Local History Society.

She has had a teaching career in Merthyr Tydfil and Brecon, while at the same time holding a number of voluntary positions. She was born on a farm in Cwmtâf, Breconshire and this has provided the background for her article on the drowning of the valley William Gibbs was born in Crickhowell. Most of his life he has worked in schools and colleges overseas, in Sierra Leone, Zambia and the Solomon Islands before returning to teach in the School of Education at Leeds University. He now lives in Llangynidr and is Chair of the Brecknock Art Trust and of Walls of Llangynidr which is working to save the dry stone mountain walls on the surrounding hills.

I am sincerely grateful to the efforts of everyone who has helped contribute to the making of this Plan which is so important for the future of Powys. Importantly, the Plan sets out a clear and strong strategy for meeting the future needs of the county’s communities over the next decade. By focussing development on our market towns and largest villages, it provides the direction and certainty to support investment and enable economic opportunities to be seized, to grow and support viable service centres and for housing development to accommodate our growing and changing household needs. At the same time the Plan provides the protection for our outstanding and important natural, built and cultural environments that make Powys such an attractive and special place in which to live, work, visit and enjoy. Our efforts along with all our partners must now shift to delivering the Plan for the benefit of our communities. Councillor Martin Weale Portfolio Holder for Economy and Planning
