Centre of Tremadog village

Uploader's Comments

At the centre of Tremadog the road widens into a square [Y Sgwar] with the Market Hall dominating the scene. Tremadog was built on reclaimed land by the Madocks family and was intended as a post town on the route from London to Dublin via a new port at Porth Dinllaen - a development that never happened. The Market Hall originally had open arches on the ground floor. These were infilled with ironwork designed by Clough Williams Ellis in the early 20thC, but in the 1970's there was a further change when the windows were added.
