The Welsh Highland Railway

02/09/11 12:55:42PM, by Gaynor Madoc Leonard

Anyone visiting Wales this year might like to add the Welsh Highland Railway to their itinerary. It's a 25 mile journey from Caernarfon via Beddgelert (readers of The Carmarthen Underground might glimpse the tea plantations there!). Eventually, it will terminate at Porthmadog but even without that it promises to be a spectacular journey. Information can be found on the Festrail website.

Welsh referendum March the 3d

03/02/11 02:01:05AM, by TARW DU

This Thursday March the 3d 2011 is a Welsh referendum day on more efficient lawmaking powers for the National Assembly of Wales. This is the only chance in a generation to say yes to a Wales that can pass laws in the already devolved areas without having to go begging for permission like vagabonds to the Government in London . It is basic common sense that will save Wales time and money whilst giving us greater efficiency and self respect. A yes vote would give Wales...

A Welsh Hard-Rock Mine

04/01/11 11:49:36PM, by Stephen Peter Lloyd Harvey

Silver-Lead Mining was once a major industry in Cardiganshire (Ceredigion) and Montgomeryshire. In 1860 there were over 100 mines in operation. The 1880's were unkind! Competition from Australia and Colorado wrecked the market. Many of our Welsh Miners emigrated to the Red Mountain Mining area of Colorado (San Juan Mountains) near Silverton. We have rescued a whole mine from obscurity and reconstructed it! Now I need to retire (it's taken 36 years to achieve) and we have looked at open...

12/29/10 10:00:37AM, by Gaynor Madoc Leonard

I'm reading that fine organ The South Wales Echo on the train. Anyone whose antecedents were gold miners in the Klondike might like to log on to Walesonline.co.uk for the letters page (called Viewpoints). Gareth Roberts of Deiniolen, Caernarfon, is seeking information about Welsh people who went to the Klondike in the 1890s as he intends to retrace the journey made by these people and record it in various forms. His e-mail address is garmel@fsmail.net.

True, Wales has broadly followed the samemodel as England as far as official documents are concerned. However, thatmindset tends to disregard any particular Welsh issues that influence thecontent of historical documents. From years of helping people trace theirancestry...
