Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox UK place Garneddwen (also known as Garnedd-Wen; Шаблон:Lang-en) is a hamlet in the south of the county of Gwynedd, Wales. It lies in the historic county of Merionethshire/Sir Feirionnydd, in the valley of the Afon Dulas.

It consists primarily of a single row of terraced houses, built for the workers at Aberllefenni Slate Quarry. The hamlet was named after a large cairn ("carnedd" in Welsh) that was to be found in a field below the farm of the same name up to Victorian times.[1]

History

Sarn Helen, a Roman road which connected the north and south parts of Roman Wales, probably ran through the hamlet.

Nearby is Fronwen, built as a family home by the quarry manager Robert Hughes (1813–1882) and his wife Jane née Deakin (1822–1906). They had four sons who were born in this house :[2]

  • Llewelyn Robert (born 1856)
  • Arthur Edward (1857–1918), who married future author Molly Thomas in 1897
  • Charles Ernest (born 1859)
  • Alfred William (1861–1900) Professor of Anatomy and Dean of the Faculty of King's College London, whose monument stands on the outskirts of CorrisШаблон:Importance inline

Railway Station

Garneddwen railway station was a station on the former Corris Railway, a narrow gauge railway which ran from Шаблон:Rws to Шаблон:Rws.[3] The station was open from 25 August 1887,[4] until the end of passenger services, in December 1930. The Corris Railway closed completely on 20 August 1948,[5]Шаблон:Rp and the track was lifted between Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws (through Garneddwen, which lies in the middle) in November 1948. The former railway's trackbed at Garneddwen is now an access road for the hamlet.
