Notes
a. Note:   Reference: "DEATHBLAST IN SNOWDONIA" by T. Meirion Hughes, December 1994. Detailed account of the June 30, 1869 (125yrs later) of two cart loads of nitro-glycerine that exploded near the village of Cwm-y-Glo. 5-tons of Nitro-glycerine loaded into 5-carts and two of the carts started their journey to Llanberis before the rest. Along the way there was an explosion with an enormous bang. The EPILOGUE in the book on page 91 contains a tale connected with the explosion provided by: Eurwyn Williams, a farmer, and present owner of Llwyncoed Farm, which the family farmed for 5-generations. (as of 2010 Eurwyn Williams still lives on the farm). The following is Eirwyn's history account:
  At the time of the explosion, Gwen Owen, 2nd Great Grandmother of Eirwyn, "was kneading dough in a large brass preserving pan and was standing near the window of the old farmhouse (since has been demolished and rebuilt) The blast caused the whole window (including the wooden frame) to cave in and the glass shattered all over the dough and Gwen. She had a narrow escape, but the pan suffered considerable damage. A large stone is said to have made a hole in it and several dents were also incurred. The brass pan was kept by the family for well over a century, but sold about 10yrs ago (in 1974)."
