Y Felinheli
Y Felinheli, formerly understood in English as Port Dinorwic, is a town, neighborhood as well as selecting ward beside the Menai Strait between Bangor as well as Caernarfon in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The population of the village was 2,284 at the 2011 Census. Y Felinheli has its origins in 2 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 reconstructed closer to the sea in 1633 and also provided its name to the negotiation. The location was largely agricultural until the location was transformed by slate quarrying in the 19th century. A new dock was constructed in 1828 when lime was removed at Brynadda as well as slate and lime were loaded as well as culm (coal dirt or anthracite slack) was brought in to terminate the lime kilns. The owners of the Vaynol Estate, the Assheton Smiths, owned a lot of the land in Y Felinheli and developed the Dinorwic Quarry in the late 18th century, They likewise built the harbour to export slate transported to the quay by the Dinorwic Railway, a slim gauge railway that was subsequently replaced by the Padarn Railway. Industrial development offered Y Felinheli (Felin-hely, 1838) the different name Port Dinorwig or Port Dinorwic.
