Very sad to hear that Dafydd Elis-Thomas has passed away. Dafydd was a founding member of our Advisory Board, whilst Chancellor of Bangor University, and always remained so interested in our research. A wonderful person to speak to about heritage, place, culture and Wales.

Hello All. Just thought I'd share this screen shot from #DeepMappingEstateArchives webmap of the Thomas Badeslade map created in 1740 for the Duke of Westminster showing their landholdings of the uplands of Denbighshire. Love that there are 'old shafts' indicated on this map, how old are they!?
