Super Ted was the highest scorer with 6 correct predictions. Burnage v Leigh threw most people and the games at Kirkby Lonsdale, St Benedicts and West Park divided opinion. Draichgoch still leads the way but 4 people are within 9 points. This week, 13 people have gone for the same results. If it's HAAHHAH then it's quids in. Everyone has gone for wins by Blackburn , Kirkby Lonsdale, Birkenhead Park and of course Wilmslow.

Some of the lectures will focus on the important architectural features of our churches, which form a significant part of Anglesey’s heritage. The Day School will also address the problems faced today in maintaining the fabric of the churches and will explore various solutions. There will be time for questions and discussion.

  • The A5 Road Thomas Telford's Great London to Holyhead Trunk Road
    1) Gateway to Gwynedd – the A5 road Thomas Telford's great London to Holyhead trunk road (A5) will in all probability form the introduction to the new county of Gwynedd for those visitors approaching by car from the southern half of the United Kingdom. Built in stages from 1815 to 1826, it amalgamated and superseded the various roads built by private landowners and Turnpike Trusts, some only a decade or two previously, to form a direct and convenient route from London to Ireland. The circumstances influencing the development of this road as the principal mail route will be described in a later section of this book dealing with the port of Holyhead, but it is convenient at the outset of our tour of Gwynedd to visualise how the road network of the county evolved from its earliest days, with reference to the system as existing at present. A major obstacle to travellers in the eighteenth century was the wide estuary of the River Conwy, which nowadays approximates to the easternmost boundary of the new county. The recognised points at which ferries operated were at Conwy itself, which was very dangerous, and at Tal-y-cafn, some four miles inland; safer but requiring a considerable detour from the preferred route which otherwise lay along the coast all the way from Chester. The first proper road in the district was constructed between these two ferries on the west side of the estuary in 1759. In 1772 the coastal road was extended over the Sychnant Pass to Bangor and thence to Pwllheli, becoming known as the Old Carnarvon Turnpike; and between 1777 and 1790 Tal-y-cafn was connected by a new road to Llanrwst, where it joined the existing route to Shrewsbury via Pentrefoelas.

  • Vision and Revision: Mountain Scenery in Snowdonia 1750-1880
    Vision and Revision: Mountain Scenery in Snowdonia 1750-1880 Peter Bishop PhD 2001 Vol.1 - Text Dissertation submitted in candidature for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. School of Art, University of Wales, Aberystwyth. Summer 2001. Thesis Abstract This thesis examines the visual depiction of mountain scenery in Snowdonia by artists, writers, illustrators and photographers from 1750 onwards. The scenery became associated with particular visual aesthetics. These are the topographical, the classical, the picturesque and the sublime. Its fundamental point is to demonstrate how these identities became established via a process of vision and revision. This study demonstrates the extensive range of visual material that has hitherto remained unknown. It is essentially a history of the mountain landscape of Snowdonia from the artist's point of view. Chapter one introduces four aesthetic categories that have been applied to this mountain scenery. The second chapter examines the role that Richard Wilson played in the visual establishment of Snowdonia and discusses how his painting came to serve the needs of the Welsh landed gentry and how, in the late twentieth century, this imagery is still being used in the promotion of north Wales. Chapter three examines the topographical aesthetic in relation to Dolbadarn Castle and Snowdon and demonstrates how this early viewpoint has predominantly retained its topographical status. Chapter four discusses Snowdon from Capel Curig and examines the classical identities that have been applied to this view from its first appearance at the Royal Academy in 1787 to its photographic appropriation in contemporary tourist literature. Chapter five examines the picturesque viewpoint of the Pont Aberglaslyn in connection with the tour guide literature, first recorded in the late 1770s but now ceased.

    WELSH JOURNEY. W. LUMSDEN WALKER. OF our journey to Wales, I need say little. Hendry arrived in Birmingham, direct from Glencoe, to schedule, and we caught a train at 6.35 A.M., an achievement of which we are both very proud! I have a dim memory of Hendry, enormous rucksack on his back, wedged inextricably in the doorway of a Birmingham workmen's tram at 6 A.M., quite unaffected by the wrath of those who had hoped to get on or off. I do recall that, thanks to my masterly organisation, the train was moving as we boarded it. With the swiftness common to all our cross-country trains in war-time, delayed by the inevitable change at Crewe, we reached Bangor and Wales at last. Somehow the atmosphere of that day was first created by the bus which transported us to the hills—a bus belonging to the Bethesda Purple Motors. To our surprise, the Purple Motor landed us safely in Bethesda, and we set out to walk to our Youth Hostel at Idwal Cottage, some five miles along the road. A cold thin rain began to fall steadily. Yet another of our chilling trips had begun. We trudged steadily down the road. The April shower lived up to its name. The mist closed in on the hills on either side, and, from a slate quarry high above us on the hillside, we heard the singing of unseen Welsh quarrymen. Less aesthetically pleasing but more physically gratifying was the rumble of a lorry close behind us. Rapidly drooping under our packs, we looked mournfully over our shoulders and waved our thumbs in the appropriate gesture.
