0:01:55 > 0:01:58- # Even though the work was hard,

0:08:48 > 0:08:50- We're about to reach Klondyke now.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55- "And here they drown."
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- This is an old lead mine.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- The lead that was left over - is still there.
0:09:02 > 0:09:07- It's contaminated the water. There - are very few fish in this river.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10- That's Mynydd Deulyn over there.

0:09:38 > 0:09:42- We're walking along - such a natural area...
0:09:42 > 0:09:47- ..but you can still see - man's influence in some places.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52- This is the old incline that - brought lead from the upper shafts.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- You can see where the lead fell - from the buckets.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01- This is a very rough path.
0:10:02 > 0:10:03- Yes, indeed.
0:10:03 > 0:10:06- It's well worth coming down here.

0:14:52 > 0:14:56- If a visitor went anywhere near - these books, the dog would growl.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00- No wonder he didn't sell many books.
0:15:00 > 0:15:04- They called the early eisteddfodau - an 'arwest'.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06- They were great occasions.

0:15:58 > 0:16:02- Clwydfardd would cry to the masses, - "Is there peace?"...

0:17:35 > 0:17:38- You always whisper - when you're in a church.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- The roof trusses - are all made of wood.
