Historical background
The meadows on the alluvial floor of the Conwy river near
Dolgarrog formed part of the monastic grange of Ardda and Dar-lâs;
after the dissolution they passed through various hands until
they became part of the Glynllifon estate, and were sold off
in 1894. Those further to the north were in various ownerships.
From 1863 to 1874 slate was shipped from a wharf known as Cei
Goed or Cei'r Ynys at SH 776 678, and in the twentieth century
the aluminium works was served by a jetty at SH 775 679.
