Y Felinheli
Y Felinheli, formerly recognized in English as Port Dinorwic, is a town, community and selecting ward next to the Menai Strait in between Bangor and Caernarfon in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The population of the village was 2,284 at the 2011 Census. Y Felinheli has its beginnings in 2 hamlets, Tafarngrisiau near St Mary's Church and Aberpwll to the north-east where there was a mill on the Afon Heulyn. The mill was rebuilt closer to the sea in 1633 and provided its name to the negotiation. The location was mostly farming until the area was changed by slate quarrying in the 19th century. A brand-new dock was integrated in 1828 when lime was drawn out at Brynadda as well as slate and lime were packed as well as culm (coal dirt or anthracite slack) was generated to discharge the lime kilns. The owners of the Vaynol Estate, the Assheton Smiths, had most of the land in Y Felinheli and developed the Dinorwic Quarry in the late 18th century, They likewise constructed the harbour to export slate delivered to the quay by the Dinorwic Railway, a slim gauge train that was ultimately replaced by the Padarn Railway. Industrial development offered Y Felinheli (Felin-hely, 1838) the different name Port Dinorwig or Port Dinorwic.
