Yard Rhosbodrual

Can you please tell me anything about Yard Rhosbodrual? Was it part of an Estate? Perhaps Coed Mawr or Tyn Rhos?
Members of my family lived there during the 1850s.

Re: Yard Rhosbodrual

Dear Mr.Evans,

I made some inquiries with a neighbour who was brought up in Rhosbodrual, and she is of the opinion that the Yard was near to where the terrace of houses on the R.H. side going towards Llanberis is today. She reckoned that the last owner of the land was an Undertaker, Michael Thomas, but could not say who would have owned the land in the 1850's.

May I suggest you contact the Gwynedd Archives in Victoria Dock. There, probably, you will find old maps showing the area and possibly the landowners name.

Regards,

T. Meirion Hughes
