Y Felinheli
Y Felinheli, formerly recognized in English as Port Dinorwic, is a village, area as well as electoral ward beside the Menai Strait between Bangor and also Caernarfon in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The population of the town was 2,284 at the 2011 Census. Y Felinheli has its origins in 2 districts, 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 also gave its name to the settlement. The location was mostly agricultural up until the location was changed by slate quarrying in the 19th century. A new dock was integrated in 1828 when lime was removed at Brynadda and also slate and also lime were loaded and culm (coal dirt or anthracite slack) was brought in to terminate the lime kilns. The owners of the Vaynol Estate, the Assheton Smiths, possessed a lot of the land in Y Felinheli as well as developed the Dinorwic Quarry in the late 18th century, They likewise constructed the harbour to export slate moved to the quay by the Dinorwic Railway, a slim gauge train that was consequently changed by the Padarn Railway. Industrial expansion provided Y Felinheli (Felin-hely, 1838) the alternate name Port Dinorwig or Port Dinorwic.
