Y Felinheli
Y Felinheli, formerly understood in English as Port Dinorwic, is a village, area and also selecting ward beside the Menai Strait in between Bangor as well as Caernarfon in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The population of the town was 2,284 at the 2011 Census. Y Felinheli has its beginnings in two communities, 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 as well as provided its name to the negotiation. The area was largely agricultural until the location was changed by slate quarrying in the 19th century. A brand-new dock was built in 1828 when lime was extracted at Brynadda and also slate and lime were filled as well as culm (coal dust or anthracite slack) was brought in to discharge the lime kilns. The proprietors of the Vaynol Estate, the Assheton Smiths, possessed a lot of the land in Y Felinheli and also created the Dinorwic Quarry in the late 18th century, They likewise constructed the harbour to export slate transported to the quay by the Dinorwic Railway, a slim scale railway that was consequently replaced by the Padarn Railway. Industrial development gave Y Felinheli (Felin-hely, 1838) the alternative name Port Dinorwig or Port Dinorwic.
