1 PARC Ref No
PARC Ref No PGW (Gd) 35 (GWY) OS Map 124 Grid Ref SH 627 439 Former County Gwynedd Unitary Authority Gwynedd Community Council Llanfrothen Designations Snowdonia National Park; Listed Buildings: House, gatehouse, two remaining earlier houses (listed as 'two cottages NE of the Parc'), Beudy Newydd all Grade II; Gwynedd Archaeological Trust Primary Reference Numbers 4737 & 4742. Site Evaluation Grade II* Primary reasons for grading The rare survival of exceptional stone-built garden terraces probably of seventeenth-century date, associated with a group of interesting buildings and historical features set within a contemporary small walled park which includes a gatehouse and viewpoint. Clough Williams-Ellis made improvements in the 1950s and 60s. Type of Site Small park with industrial features overlaid, neglected terraced gardens of an early date, buildings of interest. 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. -
IL Combo Ndx V2
file IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE The Quarterly Journal of THE INDUSTRIAL LOCOMOTIVE SOCIETY COMBINED INDEX of Volumes 1 to 7 1976 – 1996 IL No.1 to No.79 PROVISIONAL EDITION www.industrial-loco.org.uk IL COMBO v2 for PDF.doc updated 13-12-2006 INTRODUCTION and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This “Combo Index” has been assembled by combining the contents of the separate indexes originally created, for each individual volume, over a period of almost 30 years by a number of different people each using different approaches and methods. The first three volume indexes were produced on typewriters, though subsequent issues were produced by computers, and happily digital files had been preserved for these apart from one section of one index. It has therefore been necessary to create digital versions of 3 original indexes using “Optical Character Recognition” (OCR), which has not proved easy due to the relatively poor print, and extremely small text (font) size, of some of the indexes in particular. Thus the OCR results have required extensive proof-reading. Very fortunately, a team of volunteers to assist in the project was recruited from the membership of the Society, and grateful thanks are undoubtedly due to the major players in this exercise – Paul Burkhalter, John Hill, John Hutchings, Frank Jux, John Maddox and Robin Simmonds – with a special thankyou to Russell Wear, current Editor of "IL" and Chairman of the Society, who has both helped and given encouragement to the project in a myraid of different ways. None of this would have been possible but for the efforts of those who compiled the original individual indexes – Frank Jux, Ian Lloyd, (the late) James Lowe, John Scotford, and John Wood – and to the volume index print preparers such as Roger Hateley, who set a new level of presentation which is standing the test of time. -

Born out of Tragedy and Riddles, his lineage traceable, unerasable, back through the great houses of Chapelon, Giffard, Stephenson, Belpaire and Watt, the Duke was laid to rust by the sea, a few meagre miles from the mills that shaped the steel that formed the frames that bore the machine that Crewe built. Time passed and the Duke was made well again by kindly strangers. -

We have Part 1 of Andy Robert’s trip to Sardinia in May, and a swathe of book reviews, including a very comprehensive piece by Roger Hepworth. Hopefully we can get Roger to write more articles for us. Also, we are indebted to Ben Burrows, as he regularly sends me snippets – sometimes there just isn’t the space to include them, but this time I’ve trawled through some old notes and we have a very interesting collection of “bits”. Peter Mann provides an article reminding us that it is 30 years since Michael Portillo reprieved the S&C line (Editor’s apologies for not including this in the last issue). Also, Reminiscences from Bob Watson, and photos from Michael Leahy – it all adds up to a bumper edition. Keep it going, all of you!! No more Thomas Cooks tours – the company has gone into administration. What a sad end for a “national treasure” that was founded in the early days of railways and was so closely associated with railways for all its life (and for all our lives). -
The Park and Croesor Quarries
The Park and Croesor Quarries The Park and Croesor Slate Quarries Co. Ltd. Park and Croesor Quarries, Penrhyndeudraeth, N. Wales Telegrams: Kellow, Porthmadoc Telephone: P.O. No. 10 Portmadoc The Croesor Quarries 1 This article, specially written for the SLATE TRADE GAZETTE, will no doubt prove of the greatest interest to slate quarry proprietors. It is scarcely necessary to say that a personal inspection of the Park and Croesor Quarries would more clearly demonstrate the efficiency of electric power in its application to slate quarrying. Where a visit is not possible, the following description will serve to give our readers some idea of what has been accomplished in the early stages of a new era in roofing slate production. The properties of the Park and Croesor Slate Quarries Company, Limited, are upwards of 2,000 acres in extent, and have a length of 312 miles on the finest range of slate-bearing strata in the world. They lie in a direct line from the mouth of the London and North Western Railway Tunnel at Blaenau Festiniog to Portmadoc. The Company are in membership with the Festiniog District Slate Quarry Proprie- tors’ Association, and its quarries form part of the Festiniog group. The Croesor Narrow Gauge Railway - 8 miles in length - was constructed, and still serves, to convey the produce of the Park and Croesor Quarries to the shipping wharves of Portmadoc, and to the junction with the Cambrian Railway at the Croesor siding, Portmadoc, where a large assortment of slates is always kept in stock ready for dispatch by rail or water. -
