Tal-y-llyn, Gwynedd
Tal-y-llyn, or Talyllyn, is a small hamlet and former parish in Gwynedd, Wales, situated at the end of Tal-y-llyn Lake close to the village of Abergynolwyn. The parish covered an area of . The River Dysynni flows out of the lake at this point, flowing down to enter Cardigan Bay north of Tywyn. Another lake known as Llyn y Tri Greyenyn or Llyn Bach was formerly located close to the border with the parish of Dolgellau. For much of the 19th century, and the first half of the 20th century, the predominant industry in the area was slate industry in Wales, slate mining, in the quarries at Bryn Eglwys and Corris. The Talyllyn Railway was built in the 1860s to serve the quarries at Bryn Eglwys. Although this never reached the lake, and was never planned to do so, the terminus of the railway was in the parish, thereby giving the railway its name. Tourism is now one of the principle industries in the area, and the hamlet includes a hotel and public house. The parish church, St Mary's, dat ...

Tal-y-llyn Lake
Tal-y-llyn Lake, ( cy, Llyn Mwyngil), also known as Talyllyn Lake and Llyn Myngul, is a large glacial ribbon lake in Gwynedd, North Wales. It is formed by a post-glacial massive landslip damming up the lake within the glaciated valley. The hamlet of Talyllyn lies at the west end of the lake. Name Tal-y-llyn Lake is named after the hamlet and historic parish of Tal-y-llyn. Tal-y-llyn itself is named after the lake and means 'the end of the lake' in Welsh. Literally, therefore, ''Tal-y-llyn Lake'' has the circular meaning of 'the lake at the end of the lake'. The Welsh name ''Llyn Myngul'' or ''Llyn Mwyngil'' probably derives from ''mŵn'' ('neck') and ''cul'' ('narrow'). Geography Tal-y-llyn Lake is situated to the north of Machynlleth, at the foot of Cadair Idris, in the Snowdonia mountain range of Gwynedd, Wales. The River Dysynni flows from the lake, through the village of Abergynolwyn, and discharges into the sea north of Tywyn. There is a route leading to the summit of C ...

Talyllyn Railway
The Talyllyn Railway ( cy, Rheilffordd Talyllyn) is a narrow gauge preserved railway in Wales running for from Tywyn on the Mid-Wales coast to Nant Gwernol near the village of Abergynolwyn. The line was opened in 1865Drummond 2015, page 17 to carry slate from the quarries at Bryn Eglwys to Tywyn, and was the first narrow gauge railway in Britain authorised by Act of Parliament to carry passengers using steam haulage. Despite severe under-investment, the line remained open, and in 1951 it became the first railway in the world to be preserved as a heritage railway by volunteers. Since preservation, the railway has operated as a tourist attraction, expanding its rolling stock through acquisition and an engineering programme to build new locomotives and carriages. In 1976, an extension was opened along the former mineral line from Abergynolwyn to the new station at Nant Gwernol. In 2005 a major rebuilding and extension of Tywyn Wharf station took place, including a much-expande ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Talyllyn (locomotive)
''Talyllyn'' is a narrow gauge steam locomotive. It was built by Fletcher, Jennings & Co. in 1864 and is one of the oldest locomotives still in active service. It was delivered to the Talyllyn Railway on 24 September 1864 and continues to run on this railway. History The Talyllyn Railway ordered two locomotives for its opening in 1865, ''Talyllyn'' and '' Dolgoch''. Both were built by Fletcher, Jennings & Co. of Whitehaven, although to two very different designs. ''Talyllyn'' was the first order the company had delivered to north Wales and the first narrow gauge locomotive they had built with plate frames. It was built to the company's ''C Class'' design, although it was the first member of its class to be built to a gauge less than . The saddle tank locomotive was originally delivered as a with an open cab. Early tests on the railway showed that this wheel arrangement led to unacceptable vertical oscillation, and in January 1867, Talyllyn was returned to its manufacturer ...

Llanfihangel Talyllyn
Llanfihangel Talyllyn is a small village in the community of Llangors in Powys (previously Brecknockshire), Wales. It is also a community electoral ward for Llangors Community Council. Description Llanfihangel Talyllyn has a church, a village hall and a public house, The Black Cock. The church of St Michael and All Angels is located at the centre of the village and dates from the Norman period. The tower and porch date from the 15th century.

The village population had jumped from 149 to 213 between 1861 and 1871, probably because of people moving there to work on the nearby railway. By 1901 the population of the parish was 257. The Black Cock Inn is located next to the church. Its name (though referring to a black cockerel) has been misinterpreted as offensive and, in the run-up to Christmas 2015, its Facebook page was blocked ...

Talyllyn Junction
Talyllyn Junction was a railway junction located east of Brecon, Powys, opened in 1869. The junction was triangular, with north, east and west chords, station platforms being sited at the western junction and also, until 1878, at the eastern junction. The Junction took its name from the adjacent tiny hamlet. The junction was created where the Brecon and Merthyr Railway from the south met the Mid-Wales Railway from the north-east. Both railways were to serve Brecon, and to achieve this the latter had running powers over the former from Talyllyn into Brecon. The eastern spur of the triangle permitted through running from South Wales to mid-Wales and also to Hereford. The northern side of the triangle followed the course of the 1816 ''Hay Railway'', a tram-road worked by horses connecting the town of Hay with the Brecknock and Abergavenny Canal at Brecon. At the western end lay a tunnel which required widening and deepening for use by standard gauge trains. Talyllyn Juncti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tal-y-llyn, Anglesey
Tal-y-llyn is the name of a former township on the island of Anglesey, north-west Wales. It was located about to the northeast of Aberffraw. In 1306, when a survey was carried out of the lands held by the Bishop of Bangor, Tal-y-llyn was recorded as having three free tenants, who together had about , and nineteen unfree tenants, who held about between them. This would suggest a total population for the community of 110 individuals. However, the population declined in the fourteenth century, the period of the Black Death.
