Thomas Charles o'r Bala
State of Thomas Charles http://yba.llgc.org.uk/en/s-CHAR-THO-1755.html which stands in front of Capel Tegid in Bala. The statue, by William Davies, was unveiled in 1872. Thomas Charles was one of the most prominent leaders of the Methodist movement in Wales. He settled in Bala in 1783 and is perhaps best known for his circulating Sunday school system and his role as one of the founders of the British and Foreign Bible Society (1804). He was responsible for editing the Society's first Welsh Bible.

The Bala Backpackers Hostel, Tegid Square
A friendly independent hostel very conveniently located less than two minutes from Bala High Street and overlooking the pleasant Tegid Chapel Square with its statue of the Rev. Thomas Charles. Catering for individuals, families and groups, the hostel is conveniently located for a variety of outdoor activities, especially walking, sailing and white water rafting. This is my base for walking in this part of mid-Wales and it provides easy access to the Berwyn, Hirnant, Arenig, Aran and Cadair Idris ranges. In the early 1800s the building housed the Calvinistic Methodist seminary.

Lower Castle Street
The right hand side of the street is occupied by the White Lion Royal Hotel. The building facing the camera on the other side of the High Street is the Town Hall. The top of the town hall clock can be seen over the roofs on the right. The building in the past has housed the Assize and magistrate courts as well as the police station. Bala no longer has a court, and the phrase "appearing beneath the clock" no longer has the same meaning for the townsfolk. The police station has also been transferred to the western outskirts of the town.
