Double-crested Cormorant in Breeding Plumage

Maddocks might well have been proud of this project !, it was attempted to create a earth wall between various small islands on the traeth to try and hold back the sea before the cob was built, but it was unsuccesful.

This new earth work has been done since the construction of the bypass to try and hold back any flood water that may occur in the future, we shall see

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.

The rock in front has in it quite a few holes about 1" in diameter which have been drilled there.They had a purpose which I can`t remember from my school days what they are for, all I remember that they used to put gunpowder in and make them flash off !! anybody know what they were for ???

The Postcard

A postcard that was published by J. Salmon Ltd. of Sevenoaks. The image is a glossy real photograph, and the card was printed in England.

The stamp has been removed, along with the location and date of posting.

The card was posted to:

Mrs. Cornish,

'Orbanslea',

Winchester Road,

Four Marks,

Hants.

The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:

"Having a very good

holiday. Weather not

too bad, not too good,

but the country is lovely

and where we are

staying tonight and

tomorrow - Betws-y-Coed -

is a lovely spot.

Hope you are keeping

well,

Hilda".

Sounds like the weather was lousy.

Barmouth

Barmouth is a seaside town in the county of Gwynedd, north-western Wales, lying on the estuary of the Afon Mawddach and Cardigan Bay.

The town grew around the shipbuilding industry, and more recently as a seaside resort. Notable buildings include the medieval Tŷ Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Tŷ Crwn roundhouse prison and St John's Church.

William Wordsworth, a visitor to Barmouth in the 19th. century, described it thus:

"With a fine sea view in front, the mountains

behind, the glorious estuary running eight

miles inland, and Cadair Idris within compass

of a day's walk, Barmouth can always hold its

own against any rival."

Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which is located east of the town on the adjoining hillside, was the first tract of land to be donated to the National Trust.

Barmouth features prominently in the novel 'Austerlitz' by W G Sebald. The town is featured in an idyllic light, with the narrator visiting several times during his childhood. The panoramic landscape is described in the following paragraph:

"Finally, when we left the southern bank and

crawled to the opposite side over the bridge,

almost a mile long and supported on mighty

posts of oak, on our right the river bed,

inundated by the sea at high tide and looking

like a mountain lake, on our left Barmouth bay

stretching to the bright horizon, I felt so joyful

that I often scarcely knew where to look first.

To the south-west the terrain lay open in a wide

semi-circle, so that from the forecourt of the house

you had a view of the full length of the estuary from

Dolgellau to Barmouth, while these places themselves

were excluded from the panorama, which was almost

devoid of human habitations, by a rocky outcrop on

one side, and a laurel-grown hill on the other.

Only on the far side of the river could the little village

of Arthog be seen - in certain atmospheric conditions,

said Austerlitz, you might have thought it an eternity

away - infinitesimally small, with the shadow of Cadair

Idris rising behind it to a height of almost three

thousand feet above the shimmering sea."

In January 2014, two trains were stranded at Barmouth after severe winter storms destroyed the sea wall at nearby Llanaber.

Tommy Nutter (17th. April 1943 – 17th. August 1992) was born in Barmouth. He was a British tailor, famous for re-inventing the Savile Row suit in the 1960's.

J. Salmon Ltd.

Alas, J. Salmon no longer produce postcards. Having churned out small coloured rectangles of card from its factory in Kent for more than 100 years, the company stopped publishing postcards in 2017.

The fifth-generation brothers who still ran the company sent a letter to their clients in the autumn of 2017, advising them that the presses would cease printing at the end of 2017, with their remaining stock being sold off throughout the following year.

The firm’s story began in 1880, when the original J. Salmon acquired a printing business on Sevenoaks high street, and produced a collection of twelve black and white scenes of the town.

In 1912, the business broke through into the big time by commissioning the artist A. R. Quinton, who produced 2,300 scenes of British life for them up until his death in 1934. From Redruth to King’s Lynn, his softly coloured, highly detailed watercolours of rosy milkmaids, bucolic pumphouses and picturesque harbour towns earned him a place in the hearts of the public.

J. Salmon also produced photographs and cheery oils of seaside imagery titled with a garrulous enthusiasm: “Eat More Chips!”, “Sun, Sand & Sea”, “We’re Going Camping!”

It commissioned the comic artist Reg Maurice (who often worked under the pseudonym Vera Paterson), to produce pictures of comically bulbous children with cutesy captions, alongside the usual stock images of British towns.

It was this century’s changing habits – and technology – that did for Salmon. Co-managing director Charles Salmon noted:

“People are going for shorter breaks,

not for a fortnight, so you’re back home

before your postcards have arrived."

He barely needed to say that Instagram and Facebook had made their product all but redundant, almost wiping out the entire industry in a decade.

Michelle Abadie, co-director of the John Hinde Collection, said:

“When I heard the news, I was

actually surprised they still existed."

John Hinde was once J Salmon’s biggest rival; it sold 50-60 million postcards a year at its peak in the 1960's, but it, too, shuttered four years previously. The licensing for its rich archive of images was sold off, and repurposed in art books.

However, in one sense, the death of the postcard is overstated. Like vinyl records, our fetish for the physical objects we left behind is already making its presence felt.

Michelle Abadie points out:

“If you go into Waterstones now, they

sell lots of postcards of book covers.

The idea itself isn’t dead – as a

decorative object, people still want

them.”

St. John's Church

St John's Church was built between 1889 and 1895 and designed by the Chester architects Douglas and Fordham. The foundation stone was laid by Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom.

The bulk of the cost of construction was donated by Mrs Sarah Dyson Perrins in memory of her husband James Dyson Perrins (father of Charles William Dyson Perrins) of Lea & Perrins.

The Font located at the back of the church is a free-copy of Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen's font in Copenhagen Cathedral, and is sculpted out of pure marble.

The walls of Tre'r Ceiri /

In his excellent book A History of Wales, John Davies writes: "Gwynedd has one of the most remarkable prehistoric sites in Britain - the settlement of Tre'r Ceiri on the slopes of Yr Eifl. It is surrounded by a stone wall which in places is still as much as four metres in height, and within the walls are the ruins of about a hundred and fifty stone huts. There is evidence that the village was occupied in the Roman period, but it appears that its beginnings below to the years around 200 BC. The huts, with their thick walls and turf roofs, were not doubt quite snug, but it is reasonable to assume - as Tre'r Ceiri is over 400 metres above sea level - that the huts were the summer habitation of summer shepherds whose winter dwellings in the lowlands have long since been obliterated."

Yn ei lyfr gwych Hanes Cymru, mae John Davies yn ysgrifennu: "Ceir clogwyn-gestyll ar arfordir gorllewin Gwynedd hefyd. Yno yn ogystal y mae un o safleoedd cynhanesyddol hynotaf Prydain, sef Tre'r Ceiri ar lechweddau'r Eifl. Fe'i hamgylchynir gan fur o gerrig sydd mewn mannau yn dal i fod gymaint a phedwar metr o uchder, ac o fewn ei muriau y mae cant a hanner o gytiau crwn. Cafwyd tystiolaeth am ddefnyddio'r pentref yn y cyfnod Rhufeinig ond ymddengys fod dechreuadau'r gaer yn perthyn i'r blynyddoedd o gwmpas 200 CC.

Barmouth

Barmouth is a town in the county of Gwynedd, north-western Wales, lying on the estuary of the River Mawddach and Cardigan Bay.

The town grew around the shipbuilding industry, and more recently as a seaside resort. Notable buildings include the medieval Tŷ Gwyn tower house, the 19th century Tŷ Crwn roundhouse prison and St John's Church.

William Wordsworth, a visitor to Barmouth in the 19th century, described it thus:

"With a fine sea view in front, the

mountains behind, the glorious

estuary running eight miles [13 km]

inland, and Cadair Idris within

compass of a day's walk, Barmouth

can always hold its own against

any rival."

Dinas Oleu (Citadel of Light), which is located east of the town on the adjoining hillside, was the first tract of land to be donated to the National Trust.

HMS Milne

So what else happened on the day that W.M. visited the church?

Well, Thursday the 22nd. September 1921 was the beginning of the end for HMS Milne.

The British Admiralty M Class destroyer, which had been built by John Brown & Company of Clydebank and launched on the 5th. October 1914, was sold for scrap on that day.
