Trawsfynydd, the Camp 1904 (ref: 51670)
Year: 1900s The Camp
This photo is fairly unique since it shows the Camp at Bryngolau, Trawsfynydd, where the Royal Artillery Summer Camp was located for 2 years from 1903 before establishing a more permanent camp 2 miles south at Bronaber in 1905, where it remained until about 1958.

Trawsfynydd, the Square 1904 (ref: 51663)
Year: 1970 Carnival
Every year the Carnival passed through the Square, I remember being on the float with the Trawsfynydd Queen 1971/72?  I have a photo of my Mum, on a float in the Square, when she was little (that would be 1951/52?) and a photo of my younger brothers and cousin walking behind the floats all in fancy dress.  The Square in Trawsfynydd is also where I used to stand each morning to catch the bus to school in Blaenau Ffestiniog.  I only lived in Trawsfynydd for three years but the memories are many.

Llanuwchllyn, Pandy c1935 (ref: L424036)
Year: 1960 llanuwchllyn
Mums family are from the village, I have wonderful memories of staying with my grandmother at Aran Lane, which is at the bottom of the street on the right. On hearing a train, I used to rush out into the main road to see the train going over the railway bridge. My great uncle Tex had the butchers shop in the village, but spent most of his time in my grandmothers house drinking cups of tea. There was also my great uncle John, who used to ride about on a bike that had a creaky chain. He refused to oil it as he felt people knew he was coming, when they heard his bike!

Ffestiniog, 1930 (ref: 83659)
Year: 1945 WW11 in Llan Ffestiniog
Towards the end of WW11 my mother took me to visit family in Llan Ffestiniog. I was vey young. I recall clearly looking out of the parlour window and seeing a communal water pump in the street and with dozens if not hundreds of soldiers passing through - apparently en route to their camp at Trawsfynydd.
Where was the pump ? Can anyone help? I think it may have been near the wide Y junction in Ffestiniog but I just don't know. Help!
