Gnoll House was built by Sir Herbert Mackworth in 1776-8, the architect was John Johnson of Leicester. The house was 3 storied with an attached glass conservatory, it had round corner towers in a Georgian castellated style and either replaced or was adapted from an earlier house in the classical style. In 1881 the castellations were removed and the east wing was demolished. The entire house was demolished in 1957.</p>

<p>The Afon Lledr (River Lledr), the second major tributary of the River Conwy. In Roman Bridge, the Lledr Valley, County Conwy, North Wales. <br />
<br />
The Lledr has its source on the eastern slopes of Ysgafell Wen, which lies between Moel Siabod and Cnicht. It flows in a north-easterly direction towards Blaenau Dolwyddelan, where Ceunant Ty'n y Ddol joins it, then flows under the so-called Roman Bridge and past Dolwyddelan, where Afon Penamnen joins it. <br />
<br />
It continues to the north-east past Pont-y-Pant and then east along the Lledr Valley, running parallel to the A470 and the railway line from Blaenau Ffestiniog to Llandudno with stations in the Lledr Valley at Roman Bridge, Dolwyddelan, and Pont-y-Pant. The river joins the River Conwy to the south of Betws-y-Coed.<br />

<p>Tanygrisiau a village near Blaenau Ffestiniog in Gwynedd, North Wales.<br />
<br />
Tanygrisiau is Welsh for "below the steps", referring to the stepped cliffs above the village. Tanygrisiau was famous for its slate mining, producing a high-quality black slate that was used across the world. The major quarries above the village were Cwmorthin, Wrysgan and Conglog.<br />
<br />
The above Moelwyns mountains protect the village from much of the wind from northerly gales in the winter and give the village a pleasant southerly aspect with relatively mild weather considering its location high in Snowdonia. However, rainfall in the upper end of the Ffestiniog valley can be very high all year around.<br />
<br />
Tanygrisiau railway station is on the famous Ffestiniog Railway, a narrow-gauge railway built to carry slate from the mines down to the sea at Porthmadog where it was shipped all around the world, mostly for use in roofing.<br />
<br />
The nearby Ffestiniog power station, the high Stwlan Dam and Llyn Ystradau, colloquially known as Tanygrisiau Reservoir, are part of a pumped storage hydroelectricity installation. Much nearer the railway station is a waterfall on the Afon Cwmorthin and below the falls, and powered by a different water source, is a small hydro-electric power station.<br />
<br />
The closure of the slate mines during the late 1970s led to massive depopulation of the area from which it has only recently begun to recover. Tanygrisiau has close links with the regiment of the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.<br />
<br />
The village is a starting point for walks into the Moelwyn mountains, especially if the intention is to climb Moelwyn itself. Care needs to be taken as there are numerous mine shafts in the area. As a result of the slate mining, when the Snowdonia National Park was created, Tanygrisiau, Manod and Blaenau Ffestiniog were left outside, thus creating a doughnut-shaped area excluded from the National Park.<br />

<p>The Ffestiniog Narrow Gauge Railway as it travels through Tanygrisiau and towards the terminus at Blaenau Ffestiniog Railway Station. In Gwynedd, North Wales.<br />
<br />
As a Heritage Railway it is a major tourist attraction located mainly within the Snowdonia National Park.<br />
<br />
The railway is roughly 13 1⁄2 miles long and runs from the harbour at Porthmadog to the slate mining town of Blaenau Ffestiniog, travelling through forested and mountainous scenery. The line is single track throughout with four intermediate passing places. The first mile of the line out of Porthmadog runs atop an embankment locally called the Cob, which is the dyke of the Traeth Mawr "polder".<br />
<br />
The Festiniog Railway Company which owns the railway is the oldest surviving railway company in the world. It also owns the Welsh Highland Railway which was re-opened fully in 2011. The two railways share the same track gauge and meet at Porthmadog station, with occasional trains working the entire 40-mile route from Blaenau Ffestiniog to Caernarfon.<br />

<p>There was another rainbow this afternoon taken from a bedroom window...A romantic might say the dark clouds are lifting,there's blue sky on the horizon and a rainbow of hope after eighteen months of the pandemic and three life saving 'jabs'....A cynic might say...Oh just another stripy sky.....Which are you...? Rainbow of hope or a stripy sky.</p>
