Porthmadog Cob Crwn breach 1927

This is looking towards the Cob (in the distance) from Traeth Mawr Farm Porthmadog shows the Cob Crwn breach in 1927, which caused extensive flooding to the area.The breach was repaired by Mc Alpine`s ltd , this is why some people know it as Llyn McAlpine ( Mc Alpine lake )

According to Mr Jack Owen of Porthmadog, stones to repair the wall were taken from the small quarry at Sunny Side Tremadog, where he used to live.

Horses & people can be seen on the wall of Cob Crwn.
