0:00:31 > 0:00:35- ..the stray cat from Treboeth, - Tresaith and the whole world!
0:00:37 > 0:00:41- I'm still touring Welsh pubs - with Radwm in my green van.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50- I like being early to meet the locals - and get a feel for the place.
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- Today, I'm in the Gogs, - or Tibet, as I like to call it!
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- It's full of odd people speaking - a strange language, but I love them.
0:01:02 > 0:01:08- I also love the mountains - above the pub I'm visiting today.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11- Where am I going?
0:01:11 > 0:01:17- It has bred some of Wales's - best bands and musicians...
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- ..and Maffia Mr Huws.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21- Yes, it's Bethesda!
0:01:24 > 0:01:29- # Let's all rejoice merrily, better - times are coming, hallelujah! #
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Why am I singing Moliannwn?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34- Local man Benjamin Thomas wrote it.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- Many poets have links with Bethesda.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- Among them is my favourite, - R Williams Parry.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45- The amiable historian - John Bwlchllan...
0:01:45 > 0:01:49- ..enlightened me - as to how Bethesda flourished.
0:01:49 > 0:01:54- We met at the Douglas Arms, - the venue for tonight's gig.
0:01:54 > 0:01:59- It's the only Arfon quarry village - that developed into a town.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02- It became the urban district - of Bethesda.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06- It's also the site - of the largest hole in the world.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10- It's said that Penrhyn Quarry - can be seen from the moon.
0:02:11 > 0:02:16- Caernarfon Castle, the Great Wall - of China and the Bethesda hole...
0:02:16 > 0:02:19- ..can be seen from the moon.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22- In the early 19th century...
0:02:22 > 0:02:28- ..Telford designed the most - innovative road of the period.
0:02:28 > 0:02:33- It ran up through Nant Ffrancon.
0:02:33 > 0:02:39- However, none of the gradients - were too steep for a horse and cart.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- It was a real masterpiece.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44- The Ogwen Valley - became more accessible...
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- ..and the town developed - on either side of this main road.
0:02:50 > 0:02:56- The A5 that passes the Douglas Arms - was essential to the area's growth.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00- Members of the gentry - travelled to and from London.
0:03:00 > 0:03:04- They needed resting places - along the route of their journey.
0:03:04 > 0:03:06- As a result, - the Douglas Arms was built.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11- I asked the landlady, Christine, - about the origin of the name.
0:03:12 > 0:03:16- The Douglas-Pennant family - was originally from Scotland.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20- The coat of arms - belongs to Gordon Douglas.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- This is the family coat of arms.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- When they moved to North Wales...
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- ..they married into a family - and became Douglas-Pennant.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- How long have you been here?
0:03:33 > 0:03:37- My great-grandmother - rented it in 1913.
0:03:38 > 0:03:43- In 1939, a member - of the Douglas-Pennant family died.
0:03:43 > 0:03:48- The death duty was immense, - so they sold a lot of property.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51- My grandparents purchased the site.
0:03:52 > 0:03:53- Any chance of a free pint?
0:03:53 > 0:03:57- Any chance of a free pint?- - I can't do that!
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- Dear me, no.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- And I didn't get a free pint either!
0:04:05 > 0:04:07- Lord Penrhyn's family - owned the pub.
0:04:08 > 0:04:13- They resembled a local mafia - who ran and owned everything.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19- Christine suggested - that I phone J Elwyn Hughes.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22- He knows everything about them.
0:04:22 > 0:04:28- He also named another local mafia, - the band Maffia Mr Huws.
0:04:28 > 0:04:33- The Penrhyn family - dates back to the Middle Ages.
0:04:34 > 0:04:38- They lived in a wooden mansion - on the site of Penrhyn Castle.
0:04:40 > 0:04:46- At that time, the family - owned a lot of land.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48- It was an important estate.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- A man from Liverpool - called Richard Pennant...
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- ..married Ann Susannah, - the heiress of the Penrhyn estate.
0:04:56 > 0:05:02- The modern Penrhyn family - stemmed from there.
0:05:02 > 0:05:08- Richard Pennant took advantage - of his father John's wealth.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12- He had made his fortune - from Jamaica's sugar estates.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Bethesda wouldn't exist - if it wasn't for Jamaica.
0:05:16 > 0:05:20- When Richard Pennant - inherited this wealth in 1781...
0:05:21 > 0:05:26- ..he started excavating - a large hole on Y Fronllwyd.
0:05:26 > 0:05:29- That was the start - of the Penrhyn Quarry...
0:05:29 > 0:05:32- ..that would employ - thousands of men.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37- This quarry is unique, and overlooks - both the Douglas and the town.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- If you want a hole, - it may as well be a large one!
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- At one time, - 3,000 people worked here.
0:05:45 > 0:05:50- Elwyn told me about the disagreements - and the many strikes.
0:05:50 > 0:05:56- It went from bad to worse - when one particular man took control.
0:05:56 > 0:06:00- The son was called - George Sholto Douglas-Pennant.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- When speaking about his son, - the old Lord said...
0:06:04 > 0:06:08- .."Don't cross George, - because he'll never forgive you."
0:06:08 > 0:06:13- This threat came true...
0:06:13 > 0:06:15- ..at the end of the century.
0:06:15 > 0:06:21- In 1896-97, there was a strike - that lasted for 11 months.
0:06:21 > 0:06:26- It preceded the Great Strike - that lasted for three years.
0:06:27 > 0:06:31- It was the longest strike - in British trade union history.
0:06:32 > 0:06:37- During this strike, - Bethesda was a cauldron of emotion.
0:06:39 > 0:06:43- Posters were displayed - in the windows of each home.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Traitors were excommunicated - from chapels.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- One traitor told an old lady, "I got - a sovereign from Lord Penrhyn."
0:06:53 > 0:06:57- "Yes, and it turned you - into a Judas!" she replied.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01- Who were the traitors?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- They were the men who broke - the strike and went back to work.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- The windows of some traitors - were smashed.
0:07:11 > 0:07:16- The wives of the strikers gathered - in the woods that led to the quarry.
0:07:16 > 0:07:22- They jeered and heckled the traitors - as they returned to work.
0:07:23 > 0:07:28- For many years, - people were remembered as traitors.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31- "Don't trust him, - his grandfather was a traitor."
0:07:31 > 0:07:36- The scars of this strike - remain embedded in the soil.
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- At the time of the Great Strike, - men worked exceptionally hard...
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- ..under very difficult conditions.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- They worked in all weathers - on the rock faces...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53- ..or in the sheds - during the freezing weather.
0:07:54 > 0:07:59- The working conditions - was one cause of the strike.
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- The Lord didn't move an inch.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- Wages were very poor.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12- They battled for a minimum wage, - but it wasn't granted.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15- The strike dragged on - and there was no compromise.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- Lord Penrhyn - was a stubborn character...
0:08:18 > 0:08:21- ..but, apparently, - he was quite a fair employer.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24- He built hospitals and schools...
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- ..on the condition - that workers were obedient.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- If they weren't, - he could get nasty.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32- It destroyed the community.
0:08:32 > 0:08:37- From that day, neither Bethesda - nor the quarry were the same.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42- One important record - tells of people starving.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45- They had no support.
0:08:45 > 0:08:50- One lady only had crusts - that were soaked in water.
0:08:50 > 0:08:55- She roamed the area begging - and received only compassion.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58- Nothing that could provide - for her children.
0:08:58 > 0:09:02- The local shops were sympathetic...
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- ..until they were unable - to provide food...
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- ..as they couldn't afford - to supply their shops.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15- This led to many - unfortunate incidents.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Some of the traitors' wives...
0:09:18 > 0:09:23- ..had to be accompanied - by the police to the shops...
0:09:23 > 0:09:28- ..due to the bad feeling - between strikers and traitors.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- As you look at the history - of the strike...
0:09:33 > 0:09:36- ..you get a feeling - that people wanted to suffer.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- The strike dragged on.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- There was a Calvinistic notion - that suffering is good for you.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46- Following the end of the strike - in 1903...
0:09:46 > 0:09:49- ..came the Welsh Revival of 1904-05.
0:09:49 > 0:09:53- That took religious spirit - to another level.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57- We only have to roam this area - to see the large chapels...
0:09:57 > 0:09:59- ..that were very successful.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04- The money pumped into the chapels - by the workers...
0:10:04 > 0:10:06- ..was a large percentage - of their wealth.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- The word Bethesda - means a house of peace.
0:10:10 > 0:10:15- That's quite ironic considering - that the turbulent Penrhyn strike...
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- ..lasted three years.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20- The religious revival - soon followed...
0:10:20 > 0:10:24- ..but the chapel in Bethesda - has been turned into flats.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26- It's a strange world.
0:10:26 > 0:10:26- .
0:10:31 > 0:10:31- 888
0:10:31 > 0:10:33- 888- - 888
0:10:33 > 0:10:38- I love touring Wales with Radwm - and hearing local stories.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- The Penrhyn Strike - scarred the area...
0:10:42 > 0:10:46- ..but it also contributed - to local folklore.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51- Elwyn told me that Bethesda strikers - received a Christmas pudding...
0:10:51 > 0:10:56- ..that weighed two and a half tons - from an English company...
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- ..to share among the needy.
0:11:00 > 0:11:03- A hymn was adapted - to mark the occasion.
0:11:03 > 0:11:08- "We had in Bethesda - the best pudding there ever was
0:11:08 > 0:11:14- "Neither Young nor Lord Penrhyn - knew of it before it came
0:11:15 > 0:11:17- "It was a black coloured pudding
0:11:17 > 0:11:20- "The best any living being - has tasted."
0:11:21 > 0:11:23- To be sung to the tune Wyddgrug.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27- It must have been quite a pudding.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31- The hymn proves that the area - had a unique sense of humour.
0:11:31 > 0:11:37- Elwyn spoke of one individual - who's remembered by word of mouth.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Wil Reach was a local character.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44- He had an answer for everything.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- He was funny and witty.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- Someone asked him - whether he spoke English.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- "Yes," he said, - "when I lean against a wall!"
0:11:57 > 0:12:01- I like the fact that this pub - has hardly changed in a century.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- However, it has some odd features.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- One of those is found - in the snooker room.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- In the early 1960s, Geoffrey, - Christine's father...
0:12:12 > 0:12:15- ..heard that Joe Davis, - a world-class snooker player...
0:12:15 > 0:12:19- ..had devised a new game - called snooker plus.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- It was snooker with two extra balls.
0:12:22 > 0:12:27- The orange was worth eight - and the purple scored ten.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31- The aim was to make the game - more exciting.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34- It also meant a bigger - maximum break...
0:12:34 > 0:12:37- ..210 instead of 147.
0:12:38 > 0:12:42- Here we go, Dewi Morris - is going for the 210.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46- Foul!
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- The area was also home - to the writer Caradog Prichard.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21- His first Eisteddfod chair - is here at the Douglas Arms.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- It's very comfortable too!
0:13:25 > 0:13:27- I've learnt a lot - about Caradog Prichard.
0:13:28 > 0:13:31- He was born in Bethesda. - This was his house.
0:13:31 > 0:13:36- He was a journalist in London - with wife Mattie and daughter Mari.
0:13:36 > 0:13:41- The residents of Bethesda - inspired his famous work...
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- ..Un Nos Ola Leuad.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47- It's one of the greatest novels - of the 20th century.
0:13:47 > 0:13:52- It was inspired by Caradog - Prichard's experiences in Bethesda.
0:13:52 > 0:13:58- I spoke to him once when he was - working in Fleet Street in London.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03- He said, "Fleet Street is the same - length as Bethesda High Street."
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- "It brings dignity to London."
0:14:05 > 0:14:09- I wanted to hear an excerpt - from Un Nos Ola Leuad...
0:14:10 > 0:14:16- ..so I called on one of Wales's - greatest actors, John Ogwen...
0:14:16 > 0:14:17- No, not him!
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- ..to recite an extract - at the Douglas Arms.
0:14:21 > 0:14:22- John told me to say that!
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- "Johnny South has opened - a boxing club behind The Blue Bell.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- "He has made a ring - out of ropes and railings.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- "The boys learn to box every night - for a shilling a week.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- "Now Gwas Gorlan - has challenged him.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- "Now had been drinking - and heard Johnny South say...
0:14:40 > 0:14:43- "..that there'll be a special show - at eight next Thursday.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46- "Johnny South will take on - any challenger.
0:14:46 > 0:14:51- "Whoever manages a KO against - Johnny South gets ten shillings."
0:14:51 > 0:14:55- "I like your South Walian accent. - Please come with me, Huw."
0:14:56 > 0:14:58- "No punches were thrown at first.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- "They put out their arms as if - they were scratching their noses.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- "Suddenly, Now's right arm swung - like a sickle cutting brambles.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- "He caught Johnny on his chin - and he fell.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- "One, two, three..." said Frank.
0:15:13 > 0:15:17- "But Johnny jumped to his feet - and was dancing around Now.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20- "Yes, that was a belter," - said Huw.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23- "It's another for the Southerner," - said another.
0:15:24 > 0:15:28- "Now Gwas Gorlan - is now called Now Nine.
0:15:28 > 0:15:33- "When he was lying on the floor, - Frank was counting above him.
0:15:33 > 0:15:39- "After reaching eight, - Frank shouted 'nine' in English.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42- "His Nain isn't here, Frank!"
0:15:42 > 0:15:44- "He has been Now Nine ever since."
0:15:44 > 0:15:49- Oh, John Ogs. I couldn't have done - better myself, but back to Caradog.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- He was a likeable character. - We were great friends.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58- I would visit him - at his house in Bethesda.
0:15:58 > 0:16:02- He considered returning to the area - after leaving The Telegraph.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07- But he was taken ill - and it never happened.
0:16:07 > 0:16:12- I also had the extraordinary honour - of organizing his funeral.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Listen to this.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21- In the past, we used pounds, - shillings and pence.
0:16:21 > 0:16:25- In the 1970s, this changed - in every region of Britain.
0:16:25 > 0:16:30- Lord Penrhyn knew full well - that Bethesda people are stubborn.
0:16:31 > 0:16:35- It's no surprise that the Douglas - Arms refused to be decimalized.
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Richard Morris Jones - was a journalist at the time.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44- He visited the pub to interview - Geoffrey, Christine's father.
0:16:44 > 0:16:49- Hello. I'll have a pint - of dark ale, please.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50- It's a lovely day, isn't it?
0:16:50 > 0:16:52- It's a lovely day, isn't it?- - Wonderful.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54- Two and three, sir.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- Two and three, sir.- - Here's 50p.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59- I remember interviewing Geoffrey - at the Douglas.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04- We had a lot of fun - because of his determined attitude.
0:17:04 > 0:17:08- He was convinced that decimalization - would not work.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- Half a crown, a crown, - ten shillings.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- You've got a big day tomorrow.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17- Why? What's happening?
0:17:17 > 0:17:20- Why? What's happening?- - The change to decimalization.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21- We're not changing.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- We're not changing.- - What do you mean?
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- We're not changing - - it isn't essential.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29- I thought it was totally wrong.
0:17:29 > 0:17:31- Why?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34- Why?- - The original system was much better.
0:17:34 > 0:17:38- Won't you find it odd - that the Douglas Arms in Bethesda...
0:17:38 > 0:17:42- ..is the only place in Britain - that isn't decimalized?
0:17:42 > 0:17:44- I doubt we'll be the only place.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49- We're not odd, - but we'll keep going as normal.
