Llangadwaladr, The Old School

Opened on 17th February 1873; one of a number of similar schools built during the nineteenth century prominently sited to form one of the focal points of the village landscape. The school was closed by 1904 and subsequently converted for domestic use. It is a Grade II listed building (Cadw reference 20407 Link

Sediments ancient and modern

Looking over an outcrop of the Gwna Melange, a metamorphosed sedimentary rock of Cambrian age to the contemporary sediments of the Malltraeth Sands. The Afon Cefni channel can be seen in the middle distance, at approximately low tide. The sea-washed rock outcrop has a thick growth of lichens.

Concretions in sandstone

Variable cementing of the sandstone, Carboniferous in age, by carbonates has resulted in irregular weathering and the appearance of large, dark-coloured nodules on the eroded surfaces. The presence of bedding planes passing straight through some nodules is indicative of the structure being secondary in nature. The dark colour is largely due to the slow ablation of the surface compared to less heavily-cemented areas, and the surface is stable enough to be colonised by lichens (yellow Caloplaca is prominent).

Conglomerate beds

Beds of a pebble conglomerate dip steadily to the right in this image. It is widely regarded as being a basal formation to the local Carboniferous outcrop, but here its position in the stratigraphy is rather obscure. Similar beds can be found at the side of Lligwy Bay SH5087 where limestone is also in evidence.

Outcrop of unconformity

At the left of this image rocks belonging to the Gwna Melange can be seen. These are of Pre-Cambrian age and significantly metamorphosed. Falling down and spreading over the ancient topography, a rough cliff-like feature, are much younger rocks comprising a scree of angular debris obviously derived from the Gwna Melange. Higher up the succession, to the top right of the image the sediments are more obviously bedded and fine-grained in nature. The younger sediments are widely regarded to be of Devonian age, but may be Carboniferous as there is a lack of diagnostic fossils. A walking stick is stuck into a small thrust fault in the Gwna Melange for scale.
