Memories of The Square 1904, Trawsfynydd
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.

Military Camp Trawsfynydd 1945
I was in the Irish Guards and in 1945 we came to Trawfynydd by train for field training. The camp consisting of 2 or 3 huts was situated at Trawsfnydd on the left just off the main road to Bleanau. During one exercise on the stream high up the hill, a rifle was dropped into one of the deep pools on the stream. Our efforts to recover it were unsuccessful so it must be there still. I met and fell in love with Nancy Jones of Jones Street, but in end the distance from London was too much even for love. However I still have fond memories of cuddles in the cinema, and saying goodnight by the old narrow gauge railway station watched over by the sheep, who then had freedom to roam. So a belated thank you to the people in Bleanau who were always very friendly and helpful. Stan Peplow
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.
