"Our Website"
|
When we first
started off in February 2003, we bought 100Mb of web space on the server
that we used, and as the site grew we kept getting more. We have mentioned
a few times in passing, that web space was a constant concern to us. And
the other day when it touched 300Mb, things had to came to a head, and we
knew that something “radical” had to be done. Web space was a lot dearer
in early 2003, and the deal we had, was not the cheapest either. So now we
come to the good news. We have made a deal with the same company, for what
could be called unlimited web space, and this for half the price that we
were paying only the other day.
So the good
news is, the photographs that we publish from now on, will be of a much
better quality, and what better way to celebrate than this beautiful image
of Rhiw, taken some time at the beginning of the 20th century
(circa 1910) by F. H May, the renowned Llyn photographer. This is just an
example of what you will be getting in the future, we don’t mean that
every photograph will be of this size, but when we do get an exceptional
one like this, you will notice a big difference in the quality. Please
also respect the generosity of the people that lend us these images, by
not using them for profit, as this is very unfair, and we think dishonest.

Rhiw circa 1910

| Four things that we would like to point out about
the photograph. "Tan y Fynwent" the cottage centre left was thatched, and
apparently has never had a slate roof. The overhead cable car that fed the
jetty at Hells Mouth with manganese, can clearly be seen, two telegraph
poles on the main road, seems to suggest communication of sorts, and the
grave yard at Nebo chapel is half the size it is today. |
