Coes Faen (Clock House) Hall â Barmouth, Gwynedd

The earliest parts of this building date from the reign of Henry II (the Second) King of England 1154 – 1189. This Grade II listed building was built on the site of the earlier building in 1844 by the Lowe family, mill owners, with additions from 1890 – 1900. It was once used as a prison and courthouse, with two cells and a passageway at water level. It was then, at the time of writing, an hotel and spa. Source: Coflein.

South side stroll again â Barmouth, Gwynedd

A view of the south side of the Mawddach estuary, with those walkers fading into the distance, to the south of Barmouth. Beyond is the prominence of Fegla Fawr and in the background the western end of the Cader Idris range. The structure in the foreground is the electricity supply to the town, which goes underground at this point. Barmouth is a good base for coastal walking or looking eastwards for the many attractions of the Snowdonia National Park. Time photo taken 2.19 pm BST (British Summer Time).

Looking along the railway-cum-pedestrian-cum-bicycle-cum-motorcycle bridge towards Braich Ddu, the mountain in the hazy distance.

Barmouth Bridge and Braich Ddu

The near part of the bridge is designed to swing to let taller vessels through, but, according to the toll-keepers, this has not happened for decades. Braich Ddu is the mountain in the right distance.

In Barmouth

Barmouth is squeezed between the sea and the mountains. An alleyway near the market is backed by cliffs.

The Roundhouse, Barmouth

On 21st of October 1830 the civic dignitaries of Barmouth met to discuss the problem of controlling drunken brawls in the town. A town lock-up was decided upon, Completed in 1834 it continued in use until the police station opened in 1861. They are in great need today. Every town should have one, or several ! The strange structure on the grass is a surprisingly comfortable seat. It bears the inscription "Glyndwr 1840". I can only assume this to be the name of an old timber framed ship from which it came. There is a similar one nearby bearing the name "Lady Vaughan 1826" See SH6115 : Lady Vaughan 1826.
