More about this scene

The medieval borough and market town of Bala is still loved for its wide streets in this most rural part of Meirionnydd. Bala has a Roman fort near the Lake and a Norman motte, but it was the production of hand-knitted woollens that put Bala on the map, even supplying George III with stockings for his rheumatism.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

Good to see that you have the view from the bridge, my aunt and uncle lived in the house on the left, which is called Ty Newydd. Many happy memories of tea time visits and playing and fishing in the river with the cousins. I helped my Uncle lay his drive, which 34 years later is still in good condition.
I know this view very well, as my aunt and uncle lived in Ty Newydd, their garden led down to the river on the right hand side of the photo. Spent many an hours playing in the river and fishing with my cousins, never caught anything!
