  • Senedd Petition Response 17:02:20
    Lôn Las Môn For the attention of Mr Ross Davies Dirprwy Glerc, Y Pwyllgor Deisebau, Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru Deputy Clerk, Petitions Committee, National Assembly for Wales P-05-913 - Pwyllgor Deisebau 21.01.20 / Petitions Committee 21.01.20 Date 17th February 2020 Dear Sirs, Madam We would like to respond as follows to the letters & enclosures from Isle of Anglesey Council & Mr Ken Skates AM as follows: 1. Letters from Isle of Anglesey Chief Executive Annwen Morgan, Huw Percy Head of Highways are rather disappointing as they do not even offer an opinion as to the merits or not of the creation of a Multiuse Path across the island & the potential benefits it could bring, from health, fitness, disabled & adaptive cycling & many other uses other than just tourism, which at best the Heritage Railway can only offer a very narrow benefit to the island. It is rather at odds that the Anglesey Local Access Forum (a subcommittee of the Council) who we presented our scheme to in November which gave Lôn Las Môn a unanimous vote of approval. As have three Community Councils along its route. As this is a scheme to be run by Lôn Las Môn CIC, we are not looking for Isle of Anglesey to run or manage the project, we just need their support and not to oppose clearly what would be a benefit to the island and a whole. 2. We are aware of the consultation between Network Rail & the Welsh Government on the proposed lease of the railway in June 2016 with an associated 3 month rolling termination provision.

  • THE NORTH STAR CHRONICLES – a Newsletter Primarily for the Model Railway Fraternity
    THE NORTH STAR CHRONICLES – a newsletter primarily for the model railway fraternity Volume 7 no 6 June 2019 Editor: David Cairns e-mail: [email protected] Website for back copies: [email protected] Phone: +27 82 653 5642 Editorial The feature article this month is the Dinorwic Slate Museum and associated Llanberis Lake Railway. Because of space considerations Gary Smith’s ‘fleshing out’ of his museum project will be held over until next month. National Slate Museum/Dinorwic quarry/Llanberis Railway By way of introduction, at the turn of the twentieth century, Wales had two main industries – coal mining and slate extraction. At their peaks the former industry employed some 270000 people at 620 mines and the latter 17000. These quantities do not include the large numbers of people involved in the industries serving coal and slate – rail and ship transport etc. Apart from a few scattered operations involving small numbers, both industries have effectively closed. The effect on employment numbers and the communities that depended on them was catastrophic. Today Wales, particularly the western, middle and north areas, is one large recreation area for tourists. When I was there, not hundreds but thousands of people could be seen hiking and riding the many narrow gauge lines that exist in Wales and that was in April when there was still snow on the hilltops! In other words the death of traditional industries has been replaced with a vibrant new industry – tourism. 1 The National Slate Museum is located at Gilfach Ddu, Llanberis, in the disused workshops of the Dinorwic quarry.

  • Railways List
    A guide and list to a collection of Historic Railway Documents www.railarchive.org.uk to e mail click here December 2017 1 Since July 1971, this private collection of printed railway documents from pre grouping and pre nationalisation railway companies based in the UK; has sought to expand it‟s collection with the aim of obtaining a printed sample from each independent railway company which operated (or obtained it‟s act of parliament and started construction). There were over 1,500 such companies and to date the Rail Archive has sourced samples from over 800 of these companies. Early in 2001 the collection needed to be assessed for insurance purposes to identify a suitable premium. The premium cost was significant enough to warrant a more secure and sustainable future for the collection. In 2002 The Rail Archive was set up with the following objectives: secure an on-going future for the collection in a public institution reduce the insurance premium continue to add to the collection add a private collection of railway photographs from 1970‟s onwards provide a public access facility promote the collection ensure that the collection remains together in perpetuity where practical ensure that sufficient finances were in place to achieve to above objectives The archive is now retained by The Bodleian Library in Oxford to deliver the above objectives. This guide which gives details of paperwork in the collection and a list of railway companies from which material is wanted. The aim is to collect an item of printed paperwork from each UK railway company ever opened.

Main Phases of Construction Possibly sixteenth and probably seventeenth century, later twentieth-century additions. SITE DESCRIPTION Parc is an unusual and extremely interesting site hidden away in the foothills to the north-east of the Traeth Mawr plain. The whole site is small, but has great charm, with its secluded setting but wide views, great variety of terrain and vegetation, and the contrast it provides with the steep and craggy slopes around. There are several houses, sited just above the steepest part of the valley of one of the streams, the Maesgwm, and close by are the remains of three small rectangular buildings, probably of medieval date, which represent the only known previous settlement in the area of the park. The choice of site for the post-medieval houses may have been dictated by various practical factors such as the need for shelter and a wish to leave as much of the level ground as possible clear for agricultural purposes.
