Capel Cefn-y-waen MC
This ornate Calvinist chapel, also known as Capel Cefn y Waun, on the moorland edge was added in the early 2000s to the list of chapels no longer viable and has been sold for conversion into two houses for people with disabilities. It was the last of the four Calvinistic Methodist chapels in the Deiniolen area to be closed the others being Disgwylfa, Ysgoldy and Dinorwig.

The substantial chapel of Festri Capel
Just across the fields from the also substantial Christchurch. Both presumably date from the heyday of the slate industry round here.

Looking down Lon Cefn Waen towards Blaen y waen Cottage and Capel Cefnywaen
This road leads from 'Y Mynydd' (the mountain). Pobl y Mynydd (people of the mountain) i.e. of the upland smallholdings considered themselves a 'race' apart from Pobl y Pentra (village folk), and a superior one at that. Very few of the old stagers now remain, many of the mountain cottages have been purchased by incomers.

Lon Ty'n Gerddi lane
In the 1950s I used to walk along this lane every Saturday morning to collect a gallon of buttermilk from Mrs Evans, Ty'n Gerddi. At dinner time the buttermilk was added in copious quantities to mashed potatoes (to make a dish called "Tatws Laeth"). It would also be added to boiling water and black treacle and used as a medicine, known as "posal", to fight or ward off colds and flu. Then a gallon of buttermilk would cost one half penny. I see that buttermilk mashed potatoes has nowadays been discovered by London-based foodies and is recommended in fashionable magazines as part of a healthy diet.
