Before steam engines were used in 1863, slate was transported down from the mines in Blaenau Ffestiniog to the port by gravity trains. Today the railway runs occasional gravity trains for fun. One such train has just gone past our house. (PS. This is not today’s event that I am beyond excited about 🤣)
The Festival of Britain was officially opened 75 years ago. Intended as a tonic to the nation after the war years, the festival centred around the South Bank, with pavilions and structures such as the futuristic Skylon, which we have written about here https://t.co/VBW56uK3Cp
