Y Felinheli

Y Felinheli, previously known in English as Port Dinorwic, is a village, community and also electoral ward close to 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 origins in two communities, Tafarngrisiau near St Mary's Church as well as Aberpwll to the north-east where there was a mill on the Afon Heulyn. The mill was reconstructed closer to the sea in 1633 and also offered its name to the settlement. The area was greatly farming 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 as well as slate and lime were loaded and also culm (coal dirt or anthracite slack) was brought in to discharge the lime kilns. The proprietors of the Vaynol Estate, the Assheton Smiths, possessed most of the land in Y Felinheli as well as developed the Dinorwic Quarry in the late 18th century, They additionally developed the harbour to export slate carried to the quay by the Dinorwic Railway, a slim scale railway that was consequently replaced by the Padarn Railway. Industrial expansion provided Y Felinheli (Felin-hely, 1838) the alternate name Port Dinorwig or Port Dinorwic.
