We are particularly grateful for the support and assistance provided by Lindsay Roberts as Chair of the Steering Group and Hawen Jones, the Assembly Government’s nominated officer for the study (Welsh Assembly Government, Planning Division).

We are particularly grateful to the officers who assisted us with the collection of information and who were prepared to meet us at short notice to discuss the issues relevant to this study. Our particular thanks go to those who attended the four workshops – two in Ruthin and two in Llandeilo and to those rural businesses who agreed to be interviewed as a case study example. We are very grateful for the time given and for the enlightening comments made. This research has been undertaken by Land Use Consultants with Lyndis Cole acting as research director, the work of the University of the West of England led by James Shorten and that of Atlantic Consultants led by John Forsyth.

  • Cwm Mawr Mine Case Study
    June 2014 Abandoned Mine Case Study: Cwm Mawr Lead & Zinc Mine Cwm Mawr Mine, also known as Fairchance or Cwm Mawr No. 1, lies approximately 500m northeast of the village of Pontrhydfendigaid, Ceredigion. The mine is one of three known to have an impact on water quality in the Afon Teifi upstream of Cors Caron (Tregaron Bog) Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The other significant mines in this area are Abbey Consols and Esgair Mwyn. The presence of Cwm Mawr is first recorded in 1753 and was subsequently worked intermittently, at varying degrees of profitability, until its closure in 1917. Today, the minimal evidence of the area’s past industrial importance includes the remains of buildings, shafts, small waste tips and the collapsed portal of the deep adit level. Cwm Mawr Mine lies within the catchment of the Nant Lluest/Nant y Cwm, a south-westerly flowing minor tributary of the Afon Teifi. The hydrology of the site has been altered due to its mining and agricultural history, resulting in a bifurcation of the Nant Lluest upstream of the mine site, creating the Cwm Mawr Stream. The majority of flow in the Cwm Mawr Stream is diverted towards a nearby farm for agricultural purposes, with the remaining flow passing along a heavily incised channel before entering an open mine shaft. It is believed to re- emerge both through seepages approximately 135m downstream of the shaft, and from the Cwm Mawr Adit 350m southwest of the shaft. The re-issue discharges into the Cwm Mawr Tributary which flows south-westerly, being joined by the adit discharge before entering the Nant Lluest.

  • An Unintended Community in the Welsh Hinterland
    AN UNINTENDED COMMUNITY IN THE WELSH HINTERLAND Networks, Lifestyles, Relationships David Frost 2 An Unintended Community in the Welsh Hinterland - Networks, Lifestyles, Relationships Starting in the late 1970s, not long after I joined the urban exodus that saw significant inward migration to rural Wales, I kept a file of notes and observations on the situation and experiences of those around me who had moved to West Wales. Thirty years on, at the turn of the millennium, I made a summary and in this paper I discuss the main social trends that I identified at the time, adding additional and more recent material. Migration and social networks My earliest observation was that the migrants had come from many different, overwhelmingly urban, places and I pondered the reasons why they had moved to Wales; and whether, having assembled themselves in the hinterlands of Machynlleth, Aberystwyth, Tregaron, Aberaeron and Cardigan, they had become a community, albeit a loose-knit and spatially dispersed one. One reason for their migration seemed to be the persistence of the rural idyll, a romantic yearning for an idealised countryside, which I examined in my article for the Organic Grower Magazine, “Mud on the Tracks” (2016). Part of the rural idyll is the notion of community, and many writers have contrasted the community life of rural society with the supposedly atomised life of urban society. My search of the literature on rural communities led me to the conclusion however, that our 1970s migration to West Wales was a variant of what sociologists call intentional communities, which are also known as utopian communities.

  • Ceredigion Welsh District Council Elections Results 1973-1991
    Ceredigion Welsh District Council Elections Results 1973-1991 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election.
