Accounts of Treforys, a planned village for the Gorsedda slate quarry (built 1857/8) claim that it was a place "where not even potatoes would grow". Well, if they didn't grow in the village's plots, they had certainly been grown at some point in the adjoining fields, as these ridge and furrow marks show. Even better, the next field along (not shown) was known in 1844, pretty much contemporary with the village, as...'Cae Tatws' ('Potato Field')!

"We're a colonised country"
You are 😔
This Union is an English lie, but so many in the Celtic nations are happy to sell themselves out to fit in with the colonial masters.
"I'm a good Brit, I support the Royals, I do as I'm told, we are just a lesser people and we have to accept it. The English run things so well!" -
Hot off the (virtual) press: a lovely 19th century ship graffito at Eglwys Santes Fair, Nefyn (now a maritime museum). Nefyn has a rich and ancient seafaring heritage.
The deliberate cutting of this ship upon the memorial inscription word 'life' probably tells us, more than most such graffiti, what meaning was attached to it.
