Alan Godfrey Maps Cerrigydrudion, Corwen & District 1904 (Inch To The Mile Sheet 120) - Old OS Maps

This Inch to the Mile map covers Corwen and the area to the west, a region divided betwen Denbighshire and Merioneth. Apart from Corwen there are no towns and few sizeable villages. Author Derrick Partt tells us that it was an area that 19th century travellers "contemptuously dismissed" as "little more than huddles of poor houses beaded erratically along Telford's Holyhead Road". But there is always much of interest on a one-inch map, including here stretches of long lost railways, and the Alwen Valley which was soon to be flooded for a reservoir. Much of the land is mountain and moorland, with some of the Berwyn Mountains and the Denbigh Moors or Mynydd Hiraethog. On the reverse is an extract from Merioneth sheet 15.15, showing Llandrillo in more detail, complete with directory. It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps. However, you might find it useful if we here list the majority of the principal villages and church parishes that are included on this map. Denbighshire: Cerrig-y-Druidion, Clocaenog, Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr, Llangym, Pentre Foelas, Yspytty-ifan. Merionethshire: Bettws-Gwerfil-Goch, Corwen, Gwyddelwern, Llandderfel, Llandrillo, Llangar.

It is not possible to list the many hamlets, farmsteads and other topographical features shown on these maps.
