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.

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.

Extracts From Trawsfynydd & Gwynedd books
The Welsh slate industry developed in the heart of the mountains, and this resulted in settlements in some very bleak and
exposed places. The hamlet of Tanygrisiau is situated on treeless, rocky slopes; at this time it provided accommodation for
workers in the nearby Ffestiniog slate mines.
