-What could be better? | 0:00:49 | 0:00:51 | |
-They could have got me a chauffer... | 0:00:52 | 0:00:55 | |
-..and two blondes... | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
-I can't believe I just said that! | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
-Sorry. Cut! | 0:01:00 | 0:01:02 | |
-This week, I'm travelling -to the ancient area of Ardudwy... | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
-..and to Cwm Cynfal which was home -to the poetic genius, Huw Llwyd. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:13 | |
-A stone's throw -from this Roman road... | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
-..sits the ancient fort complex, -Tomen Y Mur... | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
-..home of Blodeuwedd in the -Fourth Branch of the Mabinogi. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
-Over 250 years ago... | 0:01:24 | 0:01:26 | |
-..this land was covered -by thick forests. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:31 | |
-Today, we're welcomed by the -green hills of the old Eifionydd. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:36 | |
-"Hello, Dewi. Welcome!" | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
-There, I told you so! | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
-I'm on my way to a public house -that's on the old drovers' road... | 0:01:45 | 0:01:50 | |
-..at the heart of the village -of Llanffestiniog. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
-I've come to the Pengwern Arms -community pub. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:58 | |
-Linda, thanks for joining me. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
-You know about -the history of the place. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
-My family lived here from 1960. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:11 | |
-They were here -for at least eight years. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
-Whilst living here, we came to know -of lots of stories about the pub. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
-At that time, Traws power station -was being built... | 0:02:21 | 0:02:25 | |
-..and the Pengwern was always busy. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
-Today, the pub is still busy as -the station is being decommissioned. | 0:02:28 | 0:02:33 | |
-How old were you back then? | 0:02:33 | 0:02:35 | |
-We came here when I was eleven. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
-We left after I turned 18. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
-However, I worked behind the bar -before I was 18! | 0:02:41 | 0:02:46 | |
-Tell me about the history -of the building. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
-From what I understand, the building -has been here since 1728. | 0:02:50 | 0:02:56 | |
-At that time, -it was a centre for drovers. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-They would bank -on the other side of the road... | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 | |
-..at the Bank of the Black Sheep. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:08 | |
-The drovers would stay here -to break up their journey. | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
-Do you have any fond memories -or good stories about this place? | 0:03:14 | 0:03:19 | |
-There are some stories -that I can't repeat! | 0:03:19 | 0:03:23 | |
-However, there is one story -that springs to mind. | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
-A few years after leaving the pub... | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-..I met one of the men who -stayed here whilst working at Traws. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:35 | |
-He told me, "I always thought -your name was Linda McGinty." | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
-I asked him about this. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
-My mother used to shout each morning -in Welsh "Linda, mae gen ti..." | 0:03:41 | 0:03:46 | |
-"Linda, mae gen ti" -sounded like Linda McGinty! | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
-You'll always be -Linda McGinty to me! | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
-One time, -a gentleman came to stay here. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:56 | |
-We thought that he was a millionaire -as he drove a massive Rolls Royce. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:02 | |
-He checked in, went to his room -but left his shoes outside. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:06 | |
-I saw the shoes -and thought I had to clean them. | 0:04:06 | 0:04:10 | |
-I knocked and told him to put them -inside as they might get stolen. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:16 | |
-He checked out -the following morning. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
-You could get sacked -retrospectively for that! | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
-I wasn't being paid anyway. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
-The guest didn't return afterwards. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
-The guest didn't return afterwards. - -No, we never saw him again! | 0:04:29 | 0:04:31 | |
-My mother couldn't understand as she -thought he was staying for a week. | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
-Did she ever find out why? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:37 | |
-Did she ever find out why? - -No! | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
-Does the place hold any secrets? | 0:04:39 | 0:04:41 | |
-I believe there's a tunnel -under the building. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
-But I've never been down there. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
-When we lived here, there was a door -but I was too scared to open it. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
-However, my brother and Vic -ventured into the tunnel. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:58 | |
-They say that -it leads to the church. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:01 | |
-I've been told that bodies -were kept in this cellar. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:07 | |
-In those days, more people died and -they had to be kept somewhere cold. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:13 | |
-The tunnel that led to the church -has since been closed off. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:18 | |
-The congregation -could have used it... | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
-..to sneak away from the church -for a sly pint! | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
-Yes, you might be right. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
-At the heart of Llanffestiniog -is the village square. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:38 | |
-The church stands behind me... | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
-..and from here, I can see -the old bank, workshops and smithy. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
-This wasn't a place for scoundrels! | 0:05:46 | 0:05:48 | |
-You would be cuffed for crimes -such as wearing a hat in a cemetery. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:54 | |
-Go away you Southwalian! | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
-Go away you Southwalian! - -Sorry! | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
-According to the author, -Griffith John Williams... | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
-"If a man was drunk -and disorderly... | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-"..he'd be placed in the stocks -at the parish cemetery... | 0:06:06 | 0:06:09 | |
-"..and left overnight -to face the evil spirits!" | 0:06:10 | 0:06:14 | |
-It's believed that the village's -final stocks were made in 1825... | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
-..by a local carpenter -for 25 shillings. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
-In the 18th century, Llanffestiniog -and the nearby areas were popular... | 0:06:29 | 0:06:35 | |

-..before taking the train -at Ffestiniog. | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |

-The tours were well-organized. - -Yes, to the last detail. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:57 | |
-Five years ago, -the Pengwern Arms closed... | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
-..but the community -fought to keep it open. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-They founded a community business -and it became a popular centre. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:12 | |
-The village had 300 residents -who weren't very wealthy... | 0:09:12 | 0:09:16 | |
-..but we raised 25,000 -by donations from the 300 residents. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:22 | |
-Today, we have -33,000 in donations... | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
-..from about 190 people. | 0:09:28 | 0:09:30 | |

-..such as gardening, building, -serving behind the bar and cooking. | 0:09:34 | 0:09:40 | |
-It's been a wonderful experience -that's brought the village together. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
-It was the only place to socialize -so it had to be saved. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:49 | |
-What about the young people? | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
-This place is very important. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:54 | |
-The young people of the village -had nowhere to go. | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
-There was a youth club -but it was quite sporadic... | 0:09:59 | 0:10:02 | |
-..but they are welcome here -to play pool. | 0:10:03 | 0:10:07 | |
-Most of them just want -somewhere comfortable to sit... | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
-..and chat with friends. | 0:10:12 | 0:10:14 | |
-The young people -are very respectful. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:17 | |
-We need some rules as we can't have -children drinking alcohol... | 0:10:17 | 0:10:22 | |

-It has a real community spirit. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:31 | |
-Yes, that's right. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:33 | |
-This spirit has always been here. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:36 | |
-But you need something that's more -than a concept of goodwill. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:41 | |
-People want a bar, -a pub or a building... | 0:10:41 | 0:10:45 | |

-Today, they use hydroelectricity. | 0:11:29 | 0:11:32 | |
-We're surrounded by slate -in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Viv. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:38 | |
-There's much more to -Blaenau Ffestiniog than just slate. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:42 | |

-..including the mountains, trenches, -streams, lakes and reservoirs. | 0:11:52 | 0:11:57 | |
-The area is also famous -for its significant rainfall. | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
-The rain fills the reservoirs. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
-On the eve of the -20th century in 1899... | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
-..the Yale company -opened the Dolwen power station. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:12 | |
-It was a small power station -compared to those we have today. | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
-The station originally powered -the quarries. | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
-In 1902, -the town council asked Yale... | 0:12:22 | 0:12:28 | |
-..to supply electricity to the town -and its residents. | 0:12:28 | 0:12:33 | |
-In 1902, there was an opening -ceremony for the street lights. | 0:12:33 | 0:12:38 | |
-It was a grand affair. | 0:12:38 | 0:12:40 | |

-The Queen's Hotel was the first site -with a supply of electricity. | 0:12:52 | 0:12:57 | |
-Blaenau Ffestiniog -was the second town in Britain... | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
-..to be lit -by electric street lights. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
-However, it was the first town -in Britain... | 0:13:04 | 0:13:07 | |
-..to use street lights -powered by hydroelectricity. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:12 | |
-They were ahead of their time. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:14 | |
-In 1924, a new power station -was erected in Maentwrog. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:18 | |
-Hundreds of acres were flooded -in Gors Goch, Trawsfynydd. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:25 | |

-..to create a reservoir -for the new power station. | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
-Many people made their objections -clear when Tryweryn was flooded. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:40 | |
-Did the same thing happen here? | 0:13:41 | 0:13:42 | |
-Did the same thing happen here? - -No, it didn't. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:44 | |
-However, there's a reason for this. | 0:13:45 | 0:13:47 | |
-There was a high rate -of unemployment in the area. | 0:13:47 | 0:13:51 | |
-The quarries suffered a recession -and the men were glad of the work. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
-The demand for produce increased... | 0:13:56 | 0:13:59 | |
-..and so did the need -for more electricity. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
-In the 1950s, they decided to build -an innovative power station. | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
-It was a pumped storage station -that uses the same water. | 0:14:08 | 0:14:12 | |

-Lord Newborough had opened Dolwen -30 years earlier... | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
-..but they did even better -with the opening of Tan-y-Grisiau. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:33 | |
-The Queen herself came here. | 0:14:33 | 0:14:37 | |
-She arrived with her entourage... | 0:14:37 | 0:14:40 | |
-..to press the button -to open the power station. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:46 | |
-There's one story -that I will always remember. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:50 | |
-There were pavilions and tents... | 0:14:50 | 0:14:52 | |
-..for the Royal Family -and the visiting dignitaries. | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
-At that time, a few local men -had a claim to fame. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
-After the Queen had departed... | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
-..they had the honour of sitting on -the same pan as the Queen! | 0:15:04 | 0:15:09 | |

-Wait a minute, I need -to put a shilling in the meter. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:21 | |

-..to meet a magical -and special man... | 0:15:34 | 0:15:37 | |
-..called Huw Llwyd. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:40 | |

-He was a soldier there -for many years. | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
-He returned home to retire, -whilst he was still alive to do so. | 0:16:19 | 0:16:23 | |
-However, he wanted to pursue -another career. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
-During his time on the Continent, -he leant how to heal people. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
-He would bring people here, -to the Huw Llwyd pulpit... | 0:16:31 | 0:16:36 | |
-..where he used witchcraft and magic -to heal individuals. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:41 | |
-People travelled from countries -such as France to be healed. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:46 | |
-They would be placed on the -platform of stone at the bottom. | 0:16:46 | 0:16:51 | |
-Huw Llwyd would climb -to the platform above them. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:56 | |
-He would be dressed -in an impressive black cloak... | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
-..that was covered -in various magical symbols. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:05 | |
-He eradicated demons that consumed -the body and caused the illness. | 0:17:05 | 0:17:11 | |
-He threw the demons to the river... | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
-..and down to the waterfall -where they fell into oblivion. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
-There are all sorts -of stories and tales about him. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
-My favourite is this one. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
-One day, Huw Llwyd went for a walk -along this path. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:30 | |
-He was carrying a gun, which was -a new device in those days. | 0:17:30 | 0:17:35 | |
-It was a blunderbuss gun. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:38 | |
-As he was walking along, -he spotted something on a stone. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:42 | |
-It was the devil -and he was trimming his horns. | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
-The devil saw that Huw Llwyd -was carrying something evil... | 0:17:46 | 0:17:52 | |
-..and he asked Huw Llwyd, -"What have you got there?" | 0:17:52 | 0:17:56 | |
-The devil was an Englishman! | 0:17:57 | 0:17:58 | |
-The devil was an Englishman! - -Yes, of course. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:00 | |
-Huw Llwyd didn't want -to tell him the truth so he lied. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:05 | |
-He told him that he was carrying -a pipe to smoke tobacco. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:10 | |
-Tobacco was also new and he thought -that the devil wouldn't understand. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:15 | |
-The devil said. | 0:18:15 | 0:18:16 | |
-"Huw Llwyd, -is tobacco something you ignite... | 0:18:16 | 0:18:21 | |
-"..and inhale the smoke?" | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
-"Yes," replied Huw Llwyd. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
-"Would you mind -if I sampled your tobacco?" | 0:18:25 | 0:18:30 | |
-Huw Llwyd agreed -and put the gun inside his mouth... | 0:18:30 | 0:18:34 | |
-..and bang! | 0:18:34 | 0:18:36 | |
-Smoke came out from his ears -and his eyes rolled inside his head! | 0:18:36 | 0:18:40 | |
-The devil grabbed the gun and said, -"Huw Llwyd, this is fabulous!" | 0:18:41 | 0:18:47 | |
-He continued along the path -whilst muttering to himself. | 0:18:47 | 0:18:51 | |
-"Tobacco, tobacco, -I'll adopt it as my very own herb." | 0:18:51 | 0:18:56 | |
-That's exactly what he did... | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
-..and that's how tobacco -became known as the devil's herb. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:03 | |
-It's a great story. | 0:19:03 | 0:19:05 | |
-Huw Llwyd was quite a character! | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
-He beat the demons -out of his patients. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
-He would have to work for years to -beat the demons out of this patient! | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
-I've enjoyed myself -in the Blaenau Ffestiniog community. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
-I've had good company -and heard some interesting tales. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:30 | |
-Before I leave, -we'd better sing a classic... | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
