  1. Yes, that's right. There is nowhere for local people to buy, precisely because the various Retch newspaper titles have been relentlessly publishing 'the village in Wales where you can buy four houses for the price of one in England' articles for years.

    Still, they can afford to change tack, given it brings in clicks, regardless.

  5. Efficiency, public sector style: just received a response to a simple enquiry to Welsh Government that I made...one year ago. 😡

  6. I'm presently working on research, on foot and on paper, into a slate quarry tramway tunnel in north Wales.

    Let's see if anyone out there with an interest in railways, perhaps even this one, can add to my very draft-stage document, which still contains trains of thought for later resolution (or not!) Obviously, all the material is my own copyright, unless otherwise stated.

    The more that take a look, maybe the more we may learn.

  7. Very pleased that a simple magnetic compass and measuring wheel (lit by torch!) suvey of an old slate quarry tramway tunnel (yellow) turned out in pretty-much perfect alignment with the portals at each end. I didn't have knowledge of the 1889 map until after the survey.

  8. Surveying these past days has taken me to a much-visited but little-studied tramway tunnel in a north Wales quarry site.

    Built sometime after 1828, it may originally have been an open cut, but was then covered over to accommodate slate tipping overhead.

    The tip has sat as a vast mass over this rudimentary archwork for over a century. It's still bearing up, but there are clear signs of pretty imminent failure beneath the apex of the tip.

  9. The mighty Dorothea slate quarry Cornish beam engine pump, north Wales.

    This dewatered the increasingly-deep quarry pit, which eventually reached about 108m below local surface level.

    The quarry ceased operation in 1970 and quickly flooded thereafter.

  11. What better example of how unimportant Wales and Welsh is to the Tories than this letter from parachuted-in MP for Anglesey, Virginia Crosbie?

    A letter in Welsh that switches to English, mid-flow!

    Even the QR code caption is a mess.

  15. Well, it's certainly a con.

    The elite's latest attempt to get the plebs to vote against their own interests.
