Maentwrog Turnpike Gatehouse Photo
« on: Saturday 25 September 04 12:15 UTC (UK) »
Hi,
Does anyone know where I can get a photograph of the Maentwrog Turnpike Gatehouse?
The Turnpike Gatehouse used to be near the top of the hill on the A496,where there is now a lay-by but was demolished in the 1980s when the road was widened.
My Gt Gt grandfather Richard Pugh was tollman there for 50 years.

Have now found the toll cottage, originally built in 1794, just near the end of the Maentwrog Bridge on the village side.

Hi Strow,

I would try the Gwynedd archives in Dolgellau to start with :

Postal Address:
Cae Penarlâg
DOLGELLAU
LL40 2YB Telephone: 01341 424443
Fax: 01341 424505
e-mail: archives.dolgellau@gwynedd.gov.uk

Failing that the llyfrgell genedlaethol (Nat. Library)
 holi@llgc.org.uk

The library usually comes up trumps.

You haven't replied to DapD's suggestions to say if you have found the picture that you want from the sources that he suggested. Can you let us know if you have got a copy of the picture that you requested? If not I can probably get one for you.
