Was there a Village called Lleimedig ?

Yes - really good 

Pontfaen houses and Bridge - yours for free 

(Taken Summer 2005)

I;m not sure what happened to the colour of the bridge    Now replaced.

Looking at the pic of the tram at Pontfaen - it looks as if it's by the roadside  going west with the hills Weston Rhyn beyond.

This is of Wern Farm, just close to where Barry's ancestors lived. 

My 3 x great grandfather lived there.


(Maybe re-built since then!)

There are a few other images on the various pages of the GVT site - e.g.

I've been trying to work out if Barry's grandmother arrived via the GVT or by GWR.  I've read the various sections on transport  in the book referenced in an earlier post and it's companion book about Chirk.

 From what I can find, in 1919, she is most likely to have travelled via Chirk to Preesgweene (which Arthur mentioned earlier). The station there doesn't exist anymore.

The Hurdsman book refers to a definitive book by David Llewelyn Davies,  The Glyn Valley Tramway, Oakwood Press, 1962. I might see if I can get it (second hand probably)*. It might be interesting to read in the cold and wet of January and February!
