  • Ty Crwn was erected in 1834 as a lock-up. It consists of two cells, one for men and one for women and was last used in 1861. The lock-up was mainly used to house petty offenders, and drunkards were often sent there to sober up. It was also used to detain offenders as they waited to be transferred to the local courts or county gaol at Dolgellau.

  • This statue of the Rev. Thomas Charles (1755-1814) by William Davies (Mynorydd) was unveiled in 1872. It stands outside the Calvinistic Methodist chapel in the town of Bala. Thomas Charles was one of the most prominent leaders of the Methodist movement in Wales. He settled in Bala in 1783 and is perhaps best known for his circulating Sunday school system and his role as one of the founders of the British and Foreign Bible Society (1804). He was responsible for editing the Society's first Welsh Bible and up to his death in 1814 he published and distributed some 320,000 books to his scholars.

  • During the 18th and 19th century, stocking-knitting was an important feature of the rural economy in many parts of Wales. Many families were dependent upon stocking-knitting in order to earn a living during times of hardship. The town of Bala was regarded as the centre of the stocking-knitting industry at this time and men, women and children were said to be highly-skilled in this craft. By the late 19th century, however, the importance of this domestic industry had dwindled as machine-made stockings became increasingly popular. This photograph was taken during the 1880s and shows Edward Lloyd, Ty Brics, who was said to be the last stocking-knitter in the town of Bala.
