Llanllyfni
is one of the oldest villages in Gwynedd, centred upon
St Rhedyw's Church and the Village Well. It was relatively
small until the 18th century when it began to expand
rapidly along the old road to the south because
of the development of the slate and metalliferous mining
industries. In the 19th and early 20th centuries the
several shops, chapels, public houses and a smithy
were common elements in the day-to-day life of the
villagers.
