Synopsis
Glyndyfrdwy and its Railways by Paul Lawton. Railways had a profound effect on the economic developement of Britain in the 19th Century. One such community was Glyndyfrdwy where the arrival of the railway was in many ways the saviour of the village.
The railway reversed the decline in the local population, changed the whole pattern of settlement and radically altered the way the village was to earn its living in the next hundred years.
This book features details of the history of the line and its construction, quarrying and the Deeside tramways, Glyndyfrdwy station itself and Glyndfrdwy’s “third” railway.
The book is intended as a small tribute to those who worked on the line in the past and to those who have done so much to restore it in the present. Includes 33 images.
