Tanybwlch Or Bust - The 2004 Vintage Gala

At Boston Lodge, carriages and waggons were placed in the yard where they had been found in 1954.  David Lloyd George was moved into the workshops in the road that Taliesin had occupied for the years of closure.  Across the Cob at Harbour station, the curly roofed van and a rake of slate waggons once more took up residence in the platform road, while other slate waggons, many of them recently acquired and in unrestored state filled the other roads.  Spooners was packed to welcome old friends and watch the transformation of Harbour station as the clock was turned back 50 years.
