Contents Section Detail Page Number 1.0 Background to the initiative 3 2.0 Contracting Authority 5 3.0 Introduction and Details of the Contract 6 4.0 Selection Requirements and Appointment 7 5.0 Location of Works 9 6.0 Pricing Schedule 10 7.0 Scoring and Assessment of the Submission 12 2 Taith y Lechen Introduction and Background: A partnership of Gwynedd Council, Conwy County Borough Council and the Snowdonia National Park, working in conjunction with other heritage bodies in North West Wales, has been formed to deliver a regional approach to the development and promotion of North West Wales’ unique heritage, in response to tourism and heritage strategies for the region. Cadw has been successful with a bid for a pan-Wales £19 million Heritage Tourism project. The partnership wishes to provide a co-ordinated response to this initiative by developing and promoting the region’s heritage; improving access (physical and intellectual) to heritage sites; using well known tourist attractions as gateways to signpost lesser known heritage sites and providing a joined-up approach to marketing and promotion. Gwynedd Council in partnership with Conwy County Borough Council and the Snowdonia National Park have won the tender for a number of the themes that Cadw had in question, for example: Prehistoric Origins and Roman Invasion and Settlement, Spiritual and Inspirational Landscapes, Edwardian Castles, Industrial Heritage and Events. Gwynedd Council is the lead authority on this project. We as partners will be working with communities, heritage partners and the tourism sector across Wales to improve the visitor experience and provide a more integrated range of heritage tourism activities by, for example, developing heritage tours, trails and events packages. The intention is to connect individual heritage sites with other heritage attractions and with the local community and the surrounding area, as well as to link to broader interpretive stories and themes. The Heritage Tourism Project aims include:- • improving physical and intellectual access to heritage sites to attract a wider range of visitors • marketing, promotion, referrals and product packages • using iconic sites as gateways to other ‘hub’ attractions for regional heritage attraction development • conserving, as well as undertaking access and safety improvements at sites • Developing and implementing pan-Wales heritage interpretation themes and stories. 3 This project, which is lead by Gwynedd Council on behalf of the partnership, will be named ‘Our Heritage’ “Taith y Lechen” is one of the initiatives derived from the project. This is managed by the Environmental Service (Rural Operations)– Project Item – Interpretation on the Slate Industry within the Nantlle Valley. The slate industry which developed within the Nantlle Valley was probably the third largest in the area behind Ogwen and Llanberis. Using a section of Lon Eifion between Maes Dulyn and station road, we would like to inform users of the route that this area is also rich in slate and remnants of a significant industrial past, which can still be seen today. With interpretation panels strategically located along the Lon Eifion route, the aim will be to encourage visitors into the valley to learn and discover information about the past workings. Consideration should also be given to the slates journey from quarries to the roofs of houses around the world. There is also real scope for these panels to be used as educational tools, ensuring that the ‘story’ of our past is not forgotten. To meet this aim, this commission will focus on the following key works element. • Carryout research into the past workings and consider items that might be of relevance in meeting the interpretation strategy. In order to fully engage the community of the Nantlle Valley, we would like you to arrange one community workshop involving key individuals / groups whom has a particular interest in the subject. • Prepare all text for the panels and present these for editing and approval by the Council and community members. • A local photographer or artist will need to be appointed to prepare the photographic / illustrative elements. We kindly ask you to assist with this process by engaging and appointing them directly. • You will be expected to source and consent any archived materials and photographs used as part of this commission. • Design the panels and liaise with the relevant individuals identified as part of the project. • We foresee that 2 or 3 panels will be suitable for the locations in mind at this stage. Future projects by neighbouring communities may add / contribute to the network of information panels as and when they proceed. • The principal theme will be interpreting the industrial past and tell a story! Key audiences will include visitors to the area, Local community and youngsters. • There is also scope to design and commission a piece of art to be strategically located along the route. Design options should be considered for this element. 4 2.0 Contracting Authority Name of the Organisation: Cyngor Gwynedd Council Contract Name: Mark Balaam Address: Environmental Service, Regulatory Department, Gwynedd Council, Caernarfon, Gwynedd LL55 1SH Contact details: Phone: 01286 679281 Fax: E-mail: [email protected] Monitoring Officer: Dylan Fon Owen Address: Our Heritage Project Monitoring Officer , Tourism, Marketing and Customer Care, Gwynedd Council , LL55 1SH Contact Details; Phone: 01286 679194 Fax: 01286 679338 E-mail: [email protected] 5 3.0 Introduction and Details of the Contract 3.1 Gwynedd Council wish to appoint a specialist consultancy service to assist with this project.

  • Nantlle Vale Is One of the Three Great Slate Quarrying Areas of North
    23) Nantlle vale (Dyffryn Nantlle) Nantlle vale is one of the three great slate quarrying areas of North Wales, the others being the Bethesda - Llanberis area in the north, and that of Ffestiniog further south. Each of these areas used different techniques to extract the slate (although producing a more or less standard product) which has resulted in markedly different topographical characteristics in each area. The reason for these differences is the varying formation of the slate beds in the surrounding rocks. As has already been seen at Penrhyn and Dinorwic, the slate strata of Cambrian rock outcrops directly on the side of the mountain there, and can be extracted by simply quarrying into the hillside. At Nantlle however these same beds have a much steeper, near-vertical dip and outcrop on the valley floor. In order to quarry this slate, pits have to be dug down into the strata and the slate blocks hauled out. This form of quarrying and the vertical dip of the beds have led to the characteristic landscape of deep, vertically sided pits (twllau), now frequently flooded, and overlooked by the slate rubbish tips. Quarrying at Nantlle goes back many hundreds of years. The first slate quarry in Wales was probably that at Cilgwyn, which produced roofing slate for local use on a small scale in the mediaeval period. Very little in the way of systematic working of the slate was attempted until the roads to the nearest point of shipment (Caernarfon) had been sufficiently improved to justify expenditure on development. This situation had come about by c.1800, whereupon the Crown common land began to be leased to local gentlemen and merchants who started to capitalise and enlarge the existing quarries and open new ones.

Along the route its bearers comprised an inspirational cross-section of the community, including several well known faces from the business sector. Take, for example, Albi Jones who helped to carry the torch through Pwllheli. Albi, the proprietor of the Penwaig café in Nefyn, was diagnosed a few years ago with a heart condition and advised to give up sports. However, following successful surgery, he celebrated in 2011 by organising a 256 mile bike ride from Anglesey to Cardiff in aid of the British Heart Foundation. Albi was advised by his doctor that such a challenge might be beyond the recommended levels of exercise for a man in his condition; such, however, was the support from locals that the doctor set aside his objections and decided to join him on the ride.
