A487, Tremadog Roundabout The A487 is one of the most important roads in Wales. It covers the majority of the west coast from St Davids to Menai Bridge, and is a primary route for most of its length, including a section where it multiplexes with the A470, another important north-south road. Along the way, it runs through two national parks: Snowdonia and Pembrokeshire Coast. Despite its length and importance, it is predominantly single carriageway, although the road has been upgraded in numerous places. It is 174 miles long. <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A487" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.sabre-roads.org.uk/wiki/index.php?title=A487">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

Study in grey (Dublin Street, Tremadog) An exceptionally grey day even for the vicinity and I have lightened the photo as much as I dare.

Note the 'raked half dormer' roofs and huge chimney breasts. The name Dublin Street refers to the hope in the early 19th Century that this would be on the route to Dublin (via Porth Dinllaen) although Holyhead eventually took that prize.

Y Sgwar, Tremadog Tremadog, an exceptionally fine example of a planned town, was founded by William Alexander Madocks, who bought the land in 1798. At that time, the flat area surrounding the Glaslyn River was all salt marsh. Madocks was well aware of the possibilities of draining fenland, and set about building an embankment to separate the land from the sea. His first embankment built in 1800 won the area where Tremadog now stands. By 1805, the first cottages for workers were built in what he called "Pentre Gwaelod" or "Bottom Village". Within the year he had changed the name of the village to Tre Madoc or Madocks' Town. <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://www.tremadog.org.uk/content/14.php" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://www.tremadog.org.uk/content/14.php">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span>

Gateway to the former church of St Mary Both church and gateway date from circa 1811 during the period when Tremadog was being developed on reclaimed land. What appears to be a rather finely carved stone gateway and arch is actually an example of 'Coadestone', an artificial stone produced by the use of moulds. Coadestone was invented in the late 18th century, the company being owned by a Mrs Eleanor Coade who had showrooms in London and who produced stonework, sculptures etc by a secret process. Work was done for George III and included stonework at Buckingham Palace. The gateway is grade two listed and is described as an 'eclectic composition'.

Centre of Tremadog village At the centre of Tremadog the road widens into a square [Y Sgwar] with the Market Hall dominating the scene. Tremadog was built on reclaimed land by the Madocks family and was intended as a post town on the route from London to Dublin via a new port at Porth Dinllaen - a development that never happened. The Market Hall originally had open arches on the ground floor. These were infilled with ironwork designed by Clough Williams Ellis in the early 20thC, but in the 1970's there was a further change when the windows were added.
