Of particular interest is the early range.” “The earliest element is located to the south, comprising a stone-built range on a compact, rectangular plan aligned east-west, rising to 1½ storeys beneath a pitched slate-clad roof, gabled to east and west with a ridge stack rising above the western gable. Appended at the north east of this range, a further, longer range is aligned north-south with its principal elevation facing onto the main farmyard which occupies the space between to the north-west of the house: a small enclosed forecourt is formed to the west of the north range, defined by a low wall.” Tree Ring Dating – Oxford Dendrochronology Project 2011 : Dr.

  • Cymdeithas Treftadaeth Dyffryn Conwy Conwy Valley Civic Society
    Cymdeithas Treftadaeth Dyffryn Conwy Conwy Valley Civic Society Our 50th Birthday book To celebrate our Society's 50th birthday in 2019 we are hoping that it will be possible for us to publish a book/booklet (depending on your response!). What we are looking for are true stories, memories, snippets of information – indeed anything to do with the entire area covered by The Conwy Valley Civic Society. Amazing, amusing, unusual, sad, happy, historic (or more recent) – all will be considered, and it would be wonderful if we can get some personal memories over the last 50 years ... the sort of recollections that really should be recorded but never have been before. We're NOT asking anyone to produce a whole chapter (but if you can – then please do!) Contributions can be absolutely any length from a few words to a couple of pages and in either Welsh or English (or both). I would hope that every village and our one town can be represented in some way. Perhaps you can not think of anything immediately yourself – BUT perhaps you know someone locally who you could ask, and who would like to write something for us, there is so much local knowledge out there. All contributions will be acknowledged in the publication. The CVCS area includes: Gyffin - Henryd - Glan Conwy - Pentrefelin - Tal-y-cafn Eglwysbach – Tyn-y-groes - Ro-wen - Pontwgan - Caerhun Llanbedrycennin – Tal-y-bont - Dolgarrog - Maenan Trefriw Llanddoged – Llanrwst - Llanrhychwyn - Betws y coed Dolwyddelan - Capel Curig – Penmachno – Cwm Penmachno - Pentrefoelas - Ysbyty Ifan ....and all points in between (my apologies if I've left anyone out, this is only a guide to the general area - we actually cover all the valleys of The Conwy, Lledr, Machno and Llugwy).

From the old Hall can be seen the whole county as far as Plas Iolyn, in Cerrig-y-Drydion and along the face of Hiraethog to Hafodty, home of Lord Penrhyn, in Glan Conway, and the view of it from a distance is excellent. ................ A little lower down we find Pandy, which was formerly called Y Pentre. .......... The slope between Coed y Ffynnon and Pandy is covered with oak trees of gigantic size, and they have reached the beauty of maturity; there is talk of cutting them next Spring and a great pity if so, for old Wales owes to them one of its chief distinctions. We are sure that they many times sheltered and protected Hugh Machno as he composed his intricate poetry. ” (From Gethin Jones' essay on Penmachno written in the mid 19th century.) Owen Gethin Jones (1816-83). He was probably the most prominent person to come from Penmachno after the Bishop Morgan who translated the Bible into Welsh.

    3) Penmachno to Betws-y-Coed Close to the Machno mills, the minor road leading back to Betws-y-Coed crosses the River Machno by means of a stone arch known as Pant Bridge, built c1850. Just downstream may be seen a fine example of a medieval pack-horse bridge, a single-segmental arch often misleadingly referred to as "Roman Bridge"; an attempt no doubt to promote tourist interest. The remains of another derelict fulling mill, "Pandy Mill", are to be found further along the road near the junction of the Conwy and Machno rivers (808532). Hereabouts also there is some evidence of an old salmon ladder, which enabled fish returning to the spawning grounds to climb up the falls. The present village of Penmachno came into being principally as a result of development of the local slate quarries, although its previous importance as a river crossing is represented by the old three-arched bridge, Pont Llan. Unusually these arches are of elliptical profile, the design of which (according to the plaque) is attributed to "I. Hughes, The Harry Parry of Carnarvon", and dates from 1785. The atmosphere of the quarrying community is still strongly evident in the workmen's cottages and chapels of Glanaber Terrace, hard by the workings themselves. Cwm Machno Slate Quarries, although fairly large and in production as recently as 1961, did not share the fame of other concerns at nearby Ffestiniog, and was typical of a medium-sized company operating by traditional methods. The slate mill stands stripped of machinery in the quarry floor; the pit for a 16 ft waterwheel that provided power for saws and trimmers is clearly visible alongside, and a small foundry was housed in the adjacent building.

Five timbers dated – one truss in a bedroom, three from joists in the entrance passage and one from an axial beam in the kitchen. The most likely date of construction is 1564 or within a year or two after this date. (See Oxford Dendrochronology Laboratory Report) 1956 RCAHMW Caernarvonshire Inventory Volume I 1956 page 169/170 Bennar: A two-storeyed house with a T-shaped plan. The head of the T, on a NE –SW axis, is dated 1693; the stem is probably 16th century. The walls are of roughly coursed rubble, the roofs of modern slate. Standing on ground rising steeply to the SW, the house has a fine symmetrical front. It is approached by an axial stone stairway containing seats in recesses, and leading to a small garden terrace. To the NE is a small 17th century cottage, now used as an outhouse. The older block is entered from the NE, where the original doorway and long horizontally proportioned windows remain. The other walls are hidden by later buildings, and a large part of the SE side has been removed. Internally the original ceiling of massive stop- chamfered beams and joists remains, including a trimmed opening in the N corner, evidently the site of an early stair or ladder.
