portmeirion history - the place and its past - a look at more than a century of the resort's past and its early years, using old pictures and maps, together with a thousand year historical account. launched 10/12/02, updated 01/01/19 . june 2004 introduction - welcome to this portmeirion history website. its pages have 120 photos and so loading time will vary, according to connection speeds. all image dimensions and file sizes have been reduced as much as possible, but to preserve visual quality they have not been downsized too far. roger langley. history main weblinks 1861 essay patrick mcgoohan biography patrick mcgoohan bio website peter wyngarde biography online articles by roger langley portmeirion is a coastal hotel resort in north wales, first established in 1925. the small settlement which existed there previously was known as aber i (referring to the nearby estuary, or "mouth" of the passing tidal river). in about 1840, a mansion was built there and took the place's name, sometimes seen on later postcards as "aberia". this splendid residence became portmeirion's main hotel building when the site's new owner, architect clough williams-ellis, acquired the estate. he soon began building or converting a few additional cottages, to give extra accommodation. today there are many more buildings of all shapes and sizes within portmeirion's grounds. the place became most famous as "the village", the setting for the 1967 tv series "the prisoner". the aerial pictures on this page are from that series and are carlton international media ltd. this website has been created to look at portmeirion's past and also to study the history of some significant buildings. in the first picture, portmeirion is seen to be located on a peninsula. it lies just south east of the town of porthmadog. to the left of the picture is tremadoc bay, nestling in the far larger cardigan bay. the river dwyryd passes by portmeirion, leaving at low tide wide expanses of sands. at high tide, the waters reach right up to the coastal paths, giving the cut-off land an 'island' effect. the small white 'dot' on the left is a dummy lighthouse. this is shown in the picture, above right and was created by clough williams-ellis in the 1950s and was given the title by him of "the round house". some earlier construction had appeared at this spot on maps since the latter part of the 19th century. just right of centre on the shore line is a small cottage and tower. originally the dwelling was on the site of a foundry and the cottage was known as "tan-y-castell" (meaning 'below the castle'). there are 3 castle sites mentioned on this website. one shown in the next 2 pictures below is a latecomer, built in the mid-19th century. although it is still called castell deudraeth, it is not connected to the ancient structure of that name, which once stood on the peninsula at the end of the 12th century. in fact the modern building (part of portmeirion today and used as an elegant restaurant, with hotel suites and rooms) cannot be seen in the large photo above. it is located about a kilometre to the north east from the estuary. it is described after the next 2 photos, purely for elimination purposes. the reason for this is that the main concentration of this website is the ancient castle and its 're-emergence' 600 years later in records. see the history main page and the early sub pages for more description. while on the subject of the 12th and 18th century incarnations of the 'other' castell deudraeth, there is no fully conclusive evidence regarding the building's history. one medieval source describes the general area, while others, taking up the story hundreds of years later, talk of a 'motte' (claimed to be on the site of the old castle). in fact 2 different locations for the castle have been specified. by far the main location referred to in recent years is the 'motte' position, close to the portmeirion village. the other is a higher position, which would be at the very centre of the large photo above. the reasons for the divergence of opinion are discussed on the history main page. for now, a few words about the 'new' castell deudraeth, seen below. portmeirion's castell deudraeth, as it appears today. the building underwent major renovation and reconstruction at the end of the last century and re-opened in 2001. the building was used as the 'hospital' in "the prisoner". the modern building came into being mid-19th century and is pictured in this engraving c. 1855, by t. hobbs. the home was that of local mp david williams, mentioned later. however, this 'castle' need not be detailed again. portmeirion hotel with the water at high tide. the tower seen on the left is visible in the first photo on this page. clough williams-ellis, who was later knighted, greeted many famous personages at his exclusive resort. clough williams-ellis (right) with fellow famous architect frank lloyd wright during his visit to portmeirion in 1956. other past staying luminaries included noel coward, george bernard shaw and bertrand russell. more of clough williams-ellis and frank lloyd wright. clough lived not far from portmeirion, at his home at plas brondanw. the architect died in 1978. in 1983 a new gazebo was erected to mark his centenary. the location of this, on the hill overlooking portmeirion's village, is where the 'motte' remains are to be found (see history main page). in the woods to the left in this photo is where the hillside castle or fort is said to have stood. it is now marked by some remains which a recent survey found to be of modern origin and 'not of importance'. however, the site is shown on today's maps (see history 1 page). the 'other' ancient castle site would be above the hotel (left) at the highest point, on the top of the tree line. following the trees down to the sea reaches the cottage (now called "white horses") which used to be known as "tan-y-castell", or 'below the castle'. mediaeval deudraeth castle and aber i estate - a summary from reported accounts. pre- 1700 see text above and on history main and history 1 pages. 1700 the castle of aber iau (another alternative spelling) is mentioned by edward lhuyd. 1795 a map by john evans map shows only two farm buildings (contrasting with clough williams-ellis' description as having been a little hamlet lying in a cove by a waterfall with shipyard, foundry and watermill, plus a cluster of cottages). 1804 an attempt was made to clear up the mystery as to whether any remains of deudraeth castle existed but without success. 1816 the course of the river dwyryd moved from south of the small estuary island "ynys gifftan", bringing the channel closer to aber i. 1819 os drawing shows "castell deudraeth" and a shaded area and also a place name at the site where bron eryri (the present castell deudraeth) was later developed. the 1821 map repeats the 1819 content. 1828 captain barton built on the foreshore at aber i a quay where he intended slates would be transferred from river dwyryd boats to ships. he had built the bron eryri villa (later bought by david williams in 1841 and remodelled and renamed castell deudraeth). 1829 the quay was enlarged and in 1834 larger ships were able to visit. there are rope marks on foreshore rocks confirming the quay’s extent for slate loading. 1834 the vessel '"progress" was launched from aber i, being a larger ship able to carry over 60 tons. the would-be trade did not last long because of the poor approach from the sea and the rival porthmadog port. 1835 not until the 19th century was there any evidence of designed landscaping. there is evidence of slight industrial activity, with relics of shipping, mining and a foundry. david williams purchased a part of the peninsula and would continue to expand and consolidate his estate over the next 22 years. 1836 an admiralty chart shows a foundry at aber i and nearby a ventilation shaft to a mining chamber below. a century or so later clough williams ellis fashioned a dovecote structu
