Sorry there are no trains in this photo (apart from a few carriages and wagons on the right). Anyway, the station on the left is served by the Conwy Valley line, a railway linking Llandudno with Blaenau Ffestiniog. The grounds (miniature railway, buildings, etc.) on the right are the Conwy Valley Railway Museum.

I wonder what former kingdom this railroad station stands in.
I read of Dyfed, Gwynedd (main one), Deheubarth, Powys, etc., and that they go back to about the time the Romans gave up England.
In the 70's my folks and I vacationed in England and spent 2 nights in Wales (saw the end of a sheep auction -very entertaining, saw an abandoned or wrecked abbey and, as I said, spent 2 nights, one at a haunted inn (saw no ghosts,tho), and ythe other at a farmhouse.)))

The reason why Wales became part of England was that they didn't grasp the concept of a strong central government. The last thing a kingdom should ever do when a foreign power is leaning on it, is to start dividing the kingdom among the sons of the king ! yet that is exactrly what it did ! All England finally had to do was to was to mop up the local chiefs and lords one by one.
Wales' last stand was Owen Glendower who, after not getting the help promised by the French, just disappeared. I believe I know what happened to him. He married a local farmgirl and lived out his days in obscurity. There MAY be descendants of that marriage. If the Welsh genealogies can be trusted ...
