Llwybr drwy gae gwenith/ path through wheatfield

Llwybr cyhoeddus sy'n mynd drwy gae o wenith ar fryn a elwir yr Esgair rhwng Ffermydd Pantyllyn a safle hen Ffarm Penyresgair. Dengys Map OS 1831 taw hen heol ydoedd ond mae hi wedi hen golli ei bri. Dynoda hen fapiau hefyd y bodolai dair garn ar y gefnen a elwir 'Crugiau' ond does dim son amdanynt ar y mapiau modern. A public right of way goes through a field of wheat on a hill known as Yr Esgair (The Ridge) between Pantyllyn Farm and the site of the former Penyresgair Farm. The 1831 OS Map shows the path to be a highway but it has long been downgraded to a mere footpath. Old maps also show the existence of three cairns on the ridge known as 'Crugiau' (Mounds) but they do not appear on modern maps.

Bus Stop Shelter and Public Convenience, with Post Box, Alltwalis

This combined Bus Stop Shelter and Public Convenience (Ladies to the left, Gents to the right) has a plaque recording that it was opened by Cllr J E Davies of the Newcastle Emlyn Rural District Council in 1974. 1974 is a significant date as it is the year that the Newcastle Emlyn Rural District Council was abolished as part of the local government reorganisation of that year. This shelter would have been provided as a permanent reminder of what rural communities will have lost when the large County of Dyfed was created with its lack of any true local focus. It is also a memorial that the RDC was probably blowed if it was going to have any cash reserves to pass on to the successor Authority, and so probably a number of small scale projects will have been funded for completion in early 1974 of which this would have been one.
