Llanllechidd names
« on: Sunday 19 April 15 14:17 BST (UK) »
I have been trying to locate some place names in old documents. The names are Dol y Llech, Tal y Waen, Nant y Graen, Tan y Rhiw and Pen y garreg. Best deciphering I could do.   I believe they are in Llanllchidd. Could anyone confirm this or give me their location.

Hi

Zoom in on this map,below. If you follow the trainline from the left to where it says ' Bangor and Bethesda Branch' , above it is TAN Y RHIW.

Still searching for the others  :)

Hi
Nant y graen is a farm to the east of the town  past  Ogwen Bank today.  This is a bit hazy, all from memory,  but I could rummage my notes out if needed. My 3 x great uncle once lived there. David Rowland's daughter lived for a time there too after her marriage. On Old Maps follow the quarry down to the valley floor and track west toward Bethesda its before Braich Melyn if memory serves.

When i was looking for the farm i was advised to check the spelling -apparently another is in the same area llandegai or lLlanllechid  I cant recall which called Nant y grainan which i had found in other notes.  Nant y graen however turned out to be the one to look for
