Corwen gorsedd

  • Picture Esk said:
    Before the formal opening of a gorsedd the presiding bard stood on the central stone to deliver his address in Welsh. I wonder if the large stone that is lying on the floor in the centre of the image was meant to represent such a "Logan Stone" for the start of this gorsedd?

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Lluniau Corwen pictures, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Bhas & Nessie said:
    The harpist is Edward Wood, my GGGrandad, descendent of Abram Wood, from the family of Welsh Gypsies.
  • Timothy Maloey said:
    To Bhas & Nessie. It's now March, 2020 and you probably won't read this reply as I realise that it's six years after your original comment about the harpist Edward Wood. I just wanted to say thank you for the information about your family. It's important Welsh history. Thanks again.
  • mynewtonlives said:
    Bhas & Nessie I spoke today with one of Edward’s descendants now living in Canada, Frances Riley Roberts. The Woods and Roberts dominated the Welsh harp and music culture for over a century and played before royalty on a number of occasions. Frances’ family stories and recollections will be part of a Romani and Traveller heritage project for CADW, the Welsh heritage agency. It’s an important contribution to Welsh history and we are very proud of our famous ancestors, those of us who are still Romani…

Colwyn Bay trams

from Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru / The National Library of Wales

  • mossdysan said:
    The Llandudno and Colwyn Bay Electric Railway operated an electric tramway service between Llandudno and Rhos-on-Sea from 1907 and extended to Colwyn Bay in 1908. The service closed in 1956. The original 18 cars of 1907 and 1909 were replaced progressively between 1933 and 1936 by five second hand vehicles from Accrington Corporation Tramways, taking fleet numbers 1 – 5 and ten ex Bournemouth Corporation Tramways open-top double decker trams which were numbered 6 - 15 at Llandudno. The original cars were not withdrawn in numerical order and three were retained being re-numbered as 16, 17 & 18. The picture depicts L&CB number 8, one of the ex-Bournemouth cars and was taken less than nine months before final closure. The Crosville Motor Services bus on the left is fleet-number M76 (CFM378) a 1938 Leland Titan TD5 with Eastern Coachworks 52 seat bodywork.
