| Description | It happened that the railway to Gorseddau had to lie across some of the Ymwlch lands, with the reuslt that we have here preserved the apparatus of private bill procedure, together with notices, valuations, plans, conveyance and bond.
Paper CYN/166 refers to a previous attempt, in 1855, to work the Gorseddau slate quarries by what was known as the Bangor and Portmadoc Slate Company - it is a draft agreement with Owen Griffith to utilise part of his land at Cefn Coch Isaf and Garnedd Hir. |
| AdminHistory | This railway was part of the interesting, if not fantastic adventure of the Gorseddau Quarries, whose ruinous buildings (in which Eisteddfodau were once held) testify to the magnitude of the undertaking.
By 1887, as witness the letters, things were in a bad way, leading to the final collapse. |
