-Welcome to 100 Lle. | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
-Our journey begins -above the River Dee. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:27 | |
-This week, we follow the Dee -to Llangollen... | 0:00:27 | 0:00:32 | |
-..and to Penllyn and Bala -with Marian Delyth. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:36 | |
-We go underground -in Blaenau Ffestiniog... | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
-..and explore -a pretty Welsh market town. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
-First, we visit a newly-appointed -UNESCO World Heritage Site. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:48 | |
-The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
-Work on the bridge was completed... | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
-..as part of the failed attempt -to create a canal... | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
-..linking the rivers Mersey -and Severn. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:02 | |
-Despite its failure, -the bridge is a testament... | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
-..to Thomas Telford's vision. | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
-There's no better place -to see Pontcysyllte... | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
-..than here, underneath it. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:15 | |
-We can truly appreciate the might -and magnitude of the aqueduct. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:21 | |
-It is utterly remarkable. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
-The pillars -are embedded in the River Dee... | 0:01:24 | 0:01:27 | |
-..and climb 35 metres -up to the trough holding the canal. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
-It stands 116 feet high. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:34 | |
-The pillars taper from eight metres -wide at the bottom... | 0:01:34 | 0:01:38 | |
-..to five metres wide at the top. | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
-It's very skilfully crafted. -The masonry work is striking too. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:45 | |
-There are 20 pillars in total -and 19 arches. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:49 | |
-Each arch is interconnected... | 0:01:49 | 0:01:52 | |
-..and soldered with molten lead, -sugar and Welsh flannel. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:56 | |
-They have lasted -more than 200 years... | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
-..which speaks volumes -about the craftsmanship. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
-It's odd that it wasn't acknowledged -as a World Heritage Site sooner. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:11 | |
-Blame Mrs Thatcher for that! | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
-This particular stretch... | 0:02:22 | 0:02:24 | |
-..from Pontcysyllte to Llangollen, -with which we are most familiar... | 0:02:24 | 0:02:28 | |
-..is the final part -of this development. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
-The aqueduct was completed in 1805. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
-In 1808, the canal -was extended to Llangollen... | 0:02:34 | 0:02:39 | |
-..and onwards to Llantysilio... | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
-..not for any trading purpose... | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
-..but to abstract water -from the River Dee. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:48 | |
-By the 19th century, -the system's sole purpose... | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
-..was to supply water -to the canals... | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
-..of North-West England. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-The process continued -into the 20th century... | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 | |
-..when water from this area... | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
-..supplied homes in Liverpool. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:10 | |
-Following World War Two... | 0:03:10 | 0:03:12 | |
-..when canals were outmoded... | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
-..there were calls -to pull down this bridge. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
-The people of Liverpool -protested strongly against it. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
-"Our water comes from that bridge. -Don't pull it down." | 0:03:23 | 0:03:26 | |
-Liverpool's thirst for water -has caused turbulence in Wales... | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
-..but it saved the masterpiece -that is the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:37 | |
-So well done, the Liverpudlians! | 0:03:37 | 0:03:39 | |
-We're passing over -the River Dee here... | 0:03:52 | 0:03:55 | |
-..and we have wonderful views -of the valley below. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
-The plan was to have a path -on either side... | 0:04:00 | 0:04:03 | |
-..but it proved too expensive, -so they stuck with just the one. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
-Don't walk on that side -- there's a drop of over 100 feet. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
-You wouldn't survive if you fell! | 0:04:12 | 0:04:14 | |
-This seat belt -is pretty much useless. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:18 | |
-What I need is a parachute. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
-A parachute would be more useful. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:24 | |
-It's surprising this bridge -wasn't used for industry. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:28 | |
-The construction cost -must have been high. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
-It cost 500,000 -at the end of the 18th century. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:35 | |
-That's equivalent -to at least 5 million today. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
-It was an investment -that they hoped would pay dividends. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
-But because it didn't link with -the North-East Wales coalfield... | 0:04:44 | 0:04:49 | |
-..it didn't pay its way. | 0:04:49 | 0:04:51 | |
-But they were proud of it. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
-People came from all over the world. | 0:04:54 | 0:04:56 | |
-Sir Charles Sitwell said, "I've -seen the Pont du Gard in France... | 0:04:56 | 0:05:01 | |
-"..but this is so much better." | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
-He's right, of course. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
-It's a river in the sky, -a stream in the heavens. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:10 | |
-It's a real gem. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:12 | |
-It's a World Heritage Site -belonging to Wales. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:16 | |
-Further up the River Dee -is the famous town of Llangollen. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
-Central to the town is its bridge, -built by Bishop John Trevor in 1345. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:37 | |
-It's one of the seven wonders -of Wales. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
-But Llangollen's future -as a tourist town was sealed... | 0:05:41 | 0:05:46 | |
-..when it was connected -to a network of roads in 1763. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:50 | |
-The canal came later, -at the turn of the 19th century. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
-The A5 through the town centre -came later still. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
-By 1830, 30 large carriages -would pass through every day. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
-Even in the 21st century, thousands -of tourists flock to Llangollen. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
-It's certainly one of the most -picturesque towns in Wales. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
-The town was held in high esteem -by its natives centuries earlier... | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
-..in the 13th century -when Gruffydd ap Madog... | 0:06:24 | 0:06:27 | |
-..built the imposing -Dinas Bran castle... | 0:06:27 | 0:06:30 | |
-..above the abbey, founded -by his father, Madog ap Gruffydd. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
-Valle Crucis was the last -Cistercian abbey built in Wales. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:45 | |
-Every other Welsh principality -had its own abbey... | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
-..so Madog ap Gruffydd Maelor built -this abbey in the 13th century... | 0:06:53 | 0:06:58 | |
-..in his own principality, -Powys Fadog. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:01 | |
-It's surprising how much of it -has survived the ravages of time. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
-These are 16 surviving tombstones... | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-..including that of -Owain Glyndwr's great-grandfather. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:14 | |
-Valle Crucis Abbey -was dissolved by Henry VIII... | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
-..in the 16th century, -along with every other monastery. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
-Although part of the building -was used as a residence... | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-..for centuries afterwards, -not much of its past glory remains. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:33 | |
-Llangollen was overlooked -by the nation for many centuries... | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
-..until two special ladies -arrived from Ireland in the 1870s. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:48 | |
-Before this town -became a tourist attraction... | 0:07:50 | 0:07:53 | |
-..the Ladies of Llangollen -fled here. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:56 | |
-Eleanor Butler was pressurized -by her mother to join a convent. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:01 | |
-She was a spinster in her thirties. | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
-Sarah Ponsonby was attracting the -indecent advances of her guardian... | 0:08:04 | 0:08:09 | |
-..Sir William Fownes. | 0:08:09 | 0:08:11 | |
-They fled from oppression, -religion and convention... | 0:08:12 | 0:08:16 | |
-..and came here in 1778. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
-They lived at Plas Newydd -for 50 years. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-This wasn't how the house looked -when the Ladies lived here. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:29 | |
-The grid pattern was added later -in the Victorian period. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:34 | |
-But if you focus -on the doors and windows... | 0:08:34 | 0:08:37 | |
-..you'll notice small carvings. | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
-They don't all belong -to the same period... | 0:08:40 | 0:08:43 | |
-..which is both interesting -and bizarre. | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
-Friends would bring decorative items -and stick them to the wall. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
-As you do! | 0:08:52 | 0:08:53 | |
-The interior is just as astounding. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
-Though the king's name -is on the wall, he never visited. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:01 | |
-A friend stuck a piece of wood -to the wall... | 0:09:02 | 0:09:04 | |
-..and the king's name -happened to be on it! | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
-The Ladies ended their days here. | 0:09:08 | 0:09:10 | |
-The house was renowned -for its many famous visitors... | 0:09:10 | 0:09:14 | |
-..including Wordsworth, -Shelley and Sir Walter Scott. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:18 | |
-The Ladies' relationship has been -described as a romantic friendship. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
-It was acceptable for those who -lived within this creative circle... | 0:09:32 | 0:09:37 | |
-..to follow the period's trends -in each other's company. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:41 | |
-But it appears their relationship -was more than just a friendship. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:45 | |
-As the saying goes, "There are -two things that are certain in life. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:54 | |
-"Death and taxes." | 0:09:54 | 0:09:56 | |
-I'm unaware of their financial -status at the end of their lives... | 0:09:57 | 0:10:01 | |
-..but the Ladies are both buried -in St Collen's Church. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
-In peace, and together, of course. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
-Whatever it was that attracted -the Ladies to Llangollen... | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
-..what draws many here today... | 0:10:15 | 0:10:17 | |
-..is the Llangollen International -Musical Eisteddfod... | 0:10:18 | 0:10:22 | |
-..held at this wonderful pavilion. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:25 | |
-The eisteddfod -was established in 1947... | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
-..as an attempt -to unite the world through song... | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
-..following the Second World War. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:34 | |
-The next place on our travels -is also famous for its culture. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
-Join us after the break -in Penllyn and Bala. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
-. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:49 | |
-888 | 0:10:54 | 0:10:54 | |
-888 - -888 | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
-Marian Delyth explains -her choice of photographs... | 0:11:02 | 0:11:06 | |
-..in the chapter -on Penllyn and Bala. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:09 | |
-As a good Christian Welshman... | 0:11:09 | 0:11:12 | |
-..the one person I associate -with Bala is Thomas Charles. | 0:11:12 | 0:11:16 | |
-Is it therefore a prerequisite -to have a photo of him in the book? | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
-I thought it was important... | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
-..to feature him as one of our -national icons and as a statue. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:29 | |
-I remember seeing photographs -of this statue as a child. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
-That's maybe one of the reasons -why I chose this photograph... | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
-..to represent Penllyn. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:40 | |
-The traditional photograph of Bala -is again generic... | 0:11:40 | 0:11:45 | |
-..showing its location and so on. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:47 | |
-It featured in the panel -at the top of the page. | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
-I took the main photograph... | 0:11:55 | 0:11:57 | |
-..as I passed through Bala -on Boxing Day. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:03 | |
-You have to take advantage -of fine weather... | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
-..when you travel around Wales. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:10 | |
-The difference -is that subjects jump out at you. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:16 | |
-You're not searching for a subject. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
-The weather -lends itself to the image. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
-The edge of the lake had frozen. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
-I enjoyed the detailed photography. | 0:12:26 | 0:12:28 | |
-I thought -you'd photographed this tree... | 0:12:40 | 0:12:43 | |
-..as it's shaped like a snowflake -to convey the cold weather. | 0:12:43 | 0:12:47 | |
-I hadn't seen that, -but it's a great observation. | 0:12:47 | 0:12:52 | |
-I enjoy hearing people's remarks... | 0:12:52 | 0:12:55 | |
-..because we all see -different things in images. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
-Usually, the tree... | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
-..wouldn't be the central theme -of the photograph. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:05 | |
-But the elements complement -each other so perfectly here. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:09 | |
-Perhaps that's why -I chose the tree... | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
-..as the focal point -of this photograph. | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
-You have a similar image here, -except it's waterlogged. | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
-Yes, this shows -how an image changes... | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
-..at different times, -in a different light... | 0:13:24 | 0:13:28 | |
-..and in different circumstances. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:31 | |
-Again, I happened to be -passing through Bala... | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
-..after floods. | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
-Although it's completely different, -it's from the same vantage point. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:41 | |
-Again, it comes down -to the editing for the book. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
-You tend to go -for the pretty picture... | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
-..which shows Penllyn... | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
-..in all its glory. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
-There aren't many places in Wales -where spoil tips remain. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:26 | |
-Old industrial terrain has been -landscaped beyond recognition. | 0:14:26 | 0:14:31 | |
-But here in Blaenau Ffestiniog... | 0:14:31 | 0:14:34 | |
-..the industry of old -is still continuing to this day. | 0:14:34 | 0:14:38 | |
-In their heyday, local quarries -employed more than 4,000 men. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
-Only a few dozen -are employed here now. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
-This was when Blaenau Ffestiniog -provided roofs for the entire world. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:53 | |
-These days, it's more renowned -as a tourist attraction... | 0:14:53 | 0:14:58 | |
-..than the world's -most famous slate quarry. | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
-Apparently, it was the job... | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
-..of this poor man on top of the -longest ladder you've ever seen... | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
-..to make sure -this ceiling was safe... | 0:15:18 | 0:15:22 | |
-..and that it wasn't -in danger of collapsing. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:26 | |
-I'm sure there were people -queuing up for that job! | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
-I think health and safety... | 0:15:30 | 0:15:34 | |
-..would have a field day! | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
-These men would be out of a job -if current rules applied back then. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
-This is the cabin -where they would eat... | 0:15:42 | 0:15:45 | |
-..and discuss pressing issues. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:47 | |
-The cabin was famous. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
-Of course, there wouldn't have been -a panoramic window like this. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:55 | |
-But it does give an idea of the -confined space in which they worked. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
-Working underground -must have been hard work. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
-By the end of the First World War... | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
-..the slate industry was in decline. | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
-By World War Two, -many quarries had closed down. | 0:16:09 | 0:16:12 | |
-But the war gave Manod slate quarry -a new purpose. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:17 | |
-In 1941, all the artwork -from London's National Gallery... | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
-..was transported for safe keeping -to a cavern in Manod quarry. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:28 | |
-Prior to that, some of the artwork -was kept at Penrhyn Castle... | 0:16:28 | 0:16:33 | |
-..and Pritchard Jones Hall -in Bangor. | 0:16:33 | 0:16:36 | |
-A safer location was needed -and this quarry fitted the bill. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:41 | |
-Heat and humidity levels -had to be regulated. | 0:16:41 | 0:16:46 | |
-This bridge caused problems. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
-One work of art was too tall -to fit underneath the bridge. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
-It was a painting of Charles I. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-Instead of chopping off his head -for a second time... | 0:16:55 | 0:16:59 | |
-..they had to lower -the level of the road... | 0:16:59 | 0:17:02 | |
-..so that the painting would fit. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
