Executive Summary
This Conservation Area Character Statement will become a working Supplementary
Planning Guidance (SPG) upon adoption. It supports Ynys Môn Local Plan 1996
(Policy 40) and the stopped Unitary Development Plan (Policy EN13) which states
that the character and appearance of all designated Conservation areas will be
protected from unsympathetic development. Enhancement of their character will be
achieved by carrying out improvements and permitting suitably designed new
development.
This document will be a material consideration in the determination of
planning applications.
Circular 61/96 (paragraph 20) states that the quality of place should be the prime
consideration in identifying, protecting and enhancing Conservation areas. This
depends on more than individual buildings. It is recognised that the special character
of a place may derive from many factors, including: the grouping of buildings; their
scale and relationship with outdoor spaces; architectural detailing; and so on.
Planning Policy Wales 2002 (paragraph 6.5.15) states that if any proposed
development would conflict with the objective of preserving or enhancing the
character or appearance of a Conservation area, or its setting, there will be a strong
presumption against the granting of planning permission.
Summarised below are elements that contribute to the character and appearance of
the Llangefni Conservation area requiring preservation or enhancement.
History
•
The nearby Tre-Garnedd Moated Site and Edward III’s recorded corn grist mill
point to the area having a medieval history.
•
The Bulkeleys of Porthaml and Baron Hill were both instrumental to the town’s
growth.
•
From 1765 a Turnpike Road was constructed that coursed through the hamlet
of Llangefni.
•
A town market has been present since 1785.
•
The town is closely associated with two of Wales’ greatest Nonconformist
preachers – Christmas Evans and John Elias.
•
The nineteenth century saw Llangefni’s stature as a leading market town
grow.
•
In 1818 work began on the Telford Road which saw the town by-passed.
•
The opening of the Anglesey Central Railway as far as Llangefni in 1865 and
to Amlwch by 1867 brought economic benefit.
•
The town’s present character was formed in the latter part of the C19th with
the erection of many of its fine Civic and Public buildings.
•
In recent years a significant amount of large scale development has occurred
on the periphery of the Conservation area.
Setting
•
Llangefni is a small town occupying a sheltered position on the bank of the
river Cefni.
•
Until 1760 the Afon Cefni would have been navigable up to the then little
hamlet.
•
The Dingle Local Nature Reserve has won many awards including UNESCO’s
Man and the Biosphere (MAB) award.
•
Many trees within the Conservation area have Tree Preservation Orders
(TPO's) with significant specimen trees to be found in private grounds.
•
Trees have an important influence on their surroundings in residential areas
and can contribute greatly to the overall character of the Conservation area.
•
Woodland trees play a major role in the character of the outer fringes of the
Conservation area but less so in the town centre.
•
The town has well planned Victorian wide streets, a series of imposing public
buildings, and spacious town square.
•
The sloping topography contributes to the stepped roof heights of terraces.
Architecture
•
Victorian architecture is the dominant architectural style within the
Conservation area.
•
The buildings hierarchy range from the meanly built flat-fronted working class
terraces to the detached late Victorian brick villas and grand public and
service buildings.
•
The varying roofscape is an extremely important characteristic of the town.
•
Staggered frontages also give the streets added character and architectural
interest.
•
Dormers and dome windows are common features.
•
Nineteenth century sash type windows still survive.
•
Pilasters, Head cases, Finials, Capitals, Cornices and plaster surrounds are
all decorative features that still survive.
Major Changes since Designation
In recent years a significant amount of large scale development has occurred on the
periphery of the Conservation area e.g. New Housing estates, New Council Offices,
Asda Store and expansion of the Bryn Cefni Industrial Estate.
Despite their scale these developments have had little or no detrimental effect on the
character of the designated area or its setting.
Additional benefits of the Asda development have been the provision of a service
road that re-directs traffic away from the busy town centre and the creation of an
additional parking facility within the town.
Llangefni has recently benefited from substantial amounts of public money
investment e.g. Church Street environmental improvements, building enhancement
schemes in the form of Town Improvement and Commercial
Improvement Grants (e.g. Town Hall, The Bull Hotel and Mona House Coffee Shop),
CCTV, as well as in public spaces including the Afon Cefni riverside walk and cycle
path and Dingle Local Nature Reserve.
It is hoped that along with the recent large scale developments this public money
investment will stimulate the private investment required to complete the town’s
transformation and confirm Llangefni as the County Town and place of business.
The major developments and public investment have brought about economic
benefits and restored confidence to the protected area and thus encouraged
investment in the town centre building stock that will help safeguard their future and
in turn the character of the town.
It is a glowing testimony to the quality of the original buildings that the overall form of
the Conservation area has remained relatively unchanged over the last century. It is
the loss of architectural detailing that often contributes greatly to the special
character of the town that is at greatest risk primarily due to lack of building
maintenance or unsympathetic alterations.
The Way Forward
There are a few sites within or on the fringes of the Conservation area that offer
development opportunities e.g. Cross Keys, Shire Hall annex and Car Park, former
Smithfield site and on land fronting the attractive Afon Cefni. However, any
developments would need to be sympathetic to the character of the Conservation
area or its setting.
On a positive note the town’s prominent prestigious buildings are of a high quality
and generally are in a good state of repair. Numerous original decorative details still
survive with recent appropriate refurbishment schemes respecting the original
character. The town has also benefited from recent public and private investment
that will aid restore confidence.
However, the negative side is that some buildings still suffer from a lack of general
building maintenance. Inappropriate material has also been introduced to the
Conservation area including: pebble dash and other wall cladding as well as uPVC
or aluminium windows and doors. Previous shop front alterations and business
signage have not had regard to the special character of the area.
Boundary changes are proposed so as to include locations that are presently omitted
from the designated area, where buildings or features are integral to the quality and
form of the setting of the Conservation area. The total area covered by the
Conservation area would increase from 193,001m² to 221,512m².
In order to preserve or enhance the special character of the Conservation area future
developments should have regard to the existing; materials, style, size, scale, roof
and building line so as to be sympathetic to their surroundings. The important views
and open spaces that exist should also be preserved.
Llangefni Conservation Area Development Guidance
•
Developments which affect the Conservation area should preserve or
enhance its historic character and appearance.
•
The value of the Conservation area can be damaged significantly by the
loss of its historic details.
•
Traffic management, parking, or lighting proposals will be appraised in
terms of need and affect on the town’s setting.
•
A main requirement for developments within the Conservation area is
quality.
•
Developments should achieve a high standard of design and detailing and
use high quality materials suited to their surroundings.
•
Traditional style developments are acceptable providing that they are
sympathetic and of a high quality.
•
Contemporary or Modernist styles are also acceptable if they are high in
quality and remain sympathetic to the existing and/or surrounding
buildings.
•
Planning Control decisions shall be based on the Llangefni Conservation
Area Character Appraisal SPG.
•
There is a presumption against demolition within Conservation areas if it
results in harm to its special character.
•
Developments should avoid unnecessary loss of buildings and features of
interest.
•
The Council will encourage the reuse of redundant or vacant buildings
wherever possible.
•
Developments should have regard to open spaces, views and amenity
value of trees.
Boundary Review and Recommendations (See Appendix I & II)
The character and quality of the streetscape of the market town of Llangefni is
formed by a combination of the built form, architectural detail and public open
spaces. The potential impacts on, and threats to, the character of the Conservation
area are therefore dependent on all buildings, and open spaces, that have an
influence on the streets and open spaces within the boundaries of the Conservation
area.
The re-evaluation of the current boundary of the Conservation area has identified
locations where the boundary excludes buildings or features that are integral to the
quality and form of the setting of the Conservation area itself. These proposed
additions to the Conservation area are described below.
Between Pont Plas and Pont Fawr the Afon Cefni, and natural landscape along its
banks, forms an important element in the visual quality of the Conservation area.
The trees along the banks of the river also play an important role by providing a
visual containment of the town’s historical eastern boundary. It is recommended
that the boundary be amended to include a 3m wide buffer east of the river
between these two historic bridges.
A re-evaluation of the boundary would suggest that the unusual arts and crafts style
Church Hall by St Cyngar’s Church is worthy of inclusion within the designated area.
It is recommended that the boundary be amended to also include the Church
Hall.
The recent creation of a roundabout on the B5111 adjacent to Pont Plas has
adversely affected the original boundary line. It is recommended that the
boundary be amended to exclude this part of the highway and instead follow
the boundary of Coed y Glyn Surgery on the western side of the B5111 up to
Lôn Lâs (Church Terrace).
A re-evaluation of the boundary that presently only includes the Police Station part of
the listed Shire Hall building would suggest that the boundary needs to be redrawn to
include the whole of the listed building as well as the associated adjacent car park
that protects its setting. It is recommended that the boundary be amended to
include the Shire Hall and adjacent car park so that any future development of
the site can be best influenced.
A re-evaluation of the boundary would suggest that the railway bridge and
associated adjacent historic railway cottages on Glanhwfa Road are worthy of
inclusion within the designated area. It is recommended that the boundary be
amended to include the railway bridge and cottages.
Currently the Conservation area terminates along the historic railway track in line
with the Smyrna Congregational Chapel. It is recommended that the boundary be
amended to include the omitted section of the old railway track to a more
logical end at the railway bridge.
By also including the lower end of the historic Lôn Fron, leading off Glanhwfa Road
near the railway bridge, it would be possible to create one whole Conservation area
for Llangefni rather than the confusing two detached elements that presently exists.
It is recommended that the boundary be amended to include the lower end of
Lôn Fron.
It is thought that the whole of the affluent ribbon development along Glanhwfa Road
is worthy of being included within the designated boundary.
It is recommended that the boundary be amended to include the whole of the
ribbon development along Glanhwfa Road up to the most prestigious Victorian
villa Park Mount that represents the extent of the development and boldly
proclaims the beginning of the town from the southern approach road.
The proposed boundary amendments would see the total area covered by the
Conservation area increase from 193,001m² to 221,512m².
In order to preserve or enhance the special character of the Conservation area every
effort should be made to ensure that future developments should have regard to the
existing; materials, style, size, scale, roof and building line so as to be sympathetic to
their surroundings. The important views and open spaces that exist should be
preserved.
1. Introduction
Conservation areas were created by the Civic Amenities Act of 1967 when it was
decided that listing historic buildings individually was not enough to protect groups of
buildings, which although not individually listed contributed to the character of the
place as a whole, and their setting. It was also realised that the spaces between
buildings, and trees, were also important elements and it was decided to protect
whole areas to be called Conservation Areas.
The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 requires local
authorities to designate as Conservation areas “Any area of special architectural or
historic interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or
enhance”.
It is the character of areas, rather than individual buildings that the Act seeks to
preserve or enhance. Conservation area designation should be seen as the prime
means of recognising, protecting and enhancing the identity of places with special
character.
Quality of place should be the prime consideration in identifying Conservation areas
although there can be no standard specification for Conservation areas.
Designating a Conservation area does not prevent future change to buildings and
their surroundings. It does mean, however, that the local planning authority when
considering planning applications, including those which are outside a Conservation
area but would affect its setting, must pay special regard to whether the proposed
changes “preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation
area”.
The designation should enable the character of the area to be retained and
controlled, ensuring that any new development is sympathetic to both the special
architectural and historic interest of the area, but without affecting its function or
prosperity.
If a proposal involves the total or substantial demolition of a structure or a building
within the Conservation area then “Conservation Area Consent” from the local
authority will be required. Otherwise development in Conservation areas is dealt with
through the normal planning application process. Subject to some exceptions trees
are protected in Conservation areas and anyone proposing to cut down, top or lop a
tree is required to give 6 weeks written notice to the local planning authority.
Under section 69 of the Act there is a duty on local authorities to review their areas
from time to time and to consider whether further designation of Conservation areas
is called for. It is only by understanding the elements that contribute to the character
and appearance of an area can we aspire to “preserve or enhance” it.
Anglesey County Council is producing a character appraisal for each of the island’s
Conservation areas. These character appraisal documents will form the basis, along
with policies set out in the Ynys Môn Local Plan and the stopped Unitary
Development Plan, for aiding development control within Conservation areas.
Guidance on general policies that are material considerations in the determination of
all planning applications in Conservation areas are included in Policy 40 Ynys Môn
Local Plan (and also Policy EN13 of the stopped Unitary Development Plan).
2. Conservation area
Llangefni
3. Community
The conservation area lies within the community of llangefni.
4. Date designated
Llangefni was designated as a conservation area in august, 1978.
5. Reason designated
The town’s setting, general uniformity of Victorian architectural styles, differing scale,
open spaces, varying roofscape, and overall quality all contribute greatly to the
town’s character. Whilst a number of the town’s more notable buildings are
individually listed it is the overall streetscape and open spaces that make the major
contribution to the qualities of the area and therefore is considered worthy of
protection and enhancement.
6. Location
Llangefni (grid ref.: 4575) lies on the afon cefni situated in a central position on the
isle of anglesey.
7. Area covered
See Appendices I & II
Conservation Area Boundary
The current Conservation Area boundary is formed by two isolated areas. The main
Conservation Area body, that encompasses the historic town, extends south-west
from its northernmost point at Coed Plas along the rear boundaries of Church
Terrace to the Church Hall and westwards onto the edge of the B5111.
Thereafter it heads southwards to cross the road at Pont Plas to follow the course of
Afon Cefni until it reaches No 11 Bridge Street. The boundary then crosses the
B5109 road to resume broadly following the Afon Cefni up to the point where it is in
line with the south extent of the Police Station building. From here the boundary cuts
westwards through the Police Station in line
with the War Memorial. For a short distance it heads south along the face of the
County Court building until heading westwards to enclose the Smyrna
Congregational Chapel from where it then follows the western edge of the old railway
line up to, and enveloping the grounds of Bryn Glas. The boundary then heads north-
westwards up to the rear of the boundaries of Penrallt Terrace before turning southwest to encompass the present day Coleg Menai (Canolfan Penrallt). It then heads
northwards, crossing the B5109 Cildwrn Road, in line with the property known as
Hafod down to The Dingle and across the Weir to the northern edge of Coed Plas to
encompass the Church of St Cyngar and the Rectory. The total area covered by the
main
Conservation Area body is approx. 160,910m².
The secondary Conservation Area body lies to the south of the main mass along the
western side of the A5114 Glanhwfa Road. From the south of Bodfryn the boundary
runs southwards along the edge of the A5114 up to, and including the grounds of,
Nant y Mynydd. From there the boundary heads north along the rear boundaries of
the properties fronting Glanhwfa Road up to Hedd yr Ynys. Here the boundary
crosses Fron Road to encompass the Fron Farm outbuildings before heading northeast to enclose also the grounds of Fron continuing in a south-westerly direction
along the adjacent track that borders Glenridge before returning to Bodfryn. The total
area covered by the secondary part of the Conservation Area is approx. 32,091m².
The combined total area of both parts of the Conservation Area is approx.
193,001m².
8. Setting
Llangefni is a compact small town occupying a sheltered position on the bank of the
river Cefni at the foot of the picturesque wooded glen which today is known as The
Dingle.
Until 1760 the Afon Cefni would have been navigable up to the then little hamlet
which grew to become the present day town.
Geology: The Dingle is a geological rift in the island’s central massif. The rupture
gives the course of the river Cefni an unusually sharp meander before resuming on
its normal course in the upper extents of the Malltraeth Marsh.
Glacial erosion considerably altered the pre-existing Cefni river valley. The effect
was that the deepened valley was flooded by the sea resulting in sand steadily
infilling the estuary.
The majority of The Dingle, a Post-Glacial Meltwater Corridor, is composed of the
Mona Complex Pre-Cambrian Period Green Schist (metamorphosed rocks which
split readily) with a band of Grit stone (extending across The
Dingle from Rhosmeirch to Corn Hir) and Tuffs.
Landscape: The Conservation area lies on the bank of the river Cefni. The
Conservation area lies within Local Character Area 14 (LCA 14) of the Ynys Môn
Landscape Strategy (1999), which is based on the Countryside Council for Wales
LANDMAP approach. This establishes a standard methodology for assessing
landscape character across Wales.
The west-central part of Anglesey forms the large rural heartland of the island. It is
typified by an undulating topography with the majority of the area being improved
grassland, often with rock outcrops. Within this pattern are a number of distinct
habitats including a series of lowland mires and a number of woodland areas. The
visual quality is a mix of these factors and characterised by mixed fields and
boundary patterns. One of the key aims of LCA 14 is to promote the historic and
cultural landscape.
9. Historical background
The town’s name derives from Llan (Church) & Cefni (the river beside which the
church is situated). At times in the past the name Llangyngar was used because of
the church’s dedication to Saint Cyngar.
The origin of the street name Glanhwfa Road stems from the township lands
Nanhwrfa situated on either side of the Nant Hwrfa stream – a west bank tributary of
the river Cefni. The name of the tributary still survives in the street name although
today stripped of the letter ‘r’.
According to Sir Ifor Williams the name Cefni evolved from ‘cafn’ (a hollow, or a
trough). It would appear that the first recorded use of the name ‘Afon Kevni’ was by
John Leland (Antiquarian to Henry VIII) in the early 16th century.
Traditionally rivers were frequently used to define territorial boundaries. The Cefni
was used as a boundary between the Malltraeth and Menai commotes.
The original church at Llangefni was named Llangyngar after St Cyngar. Cyngar was
of noble Welsh lineage being the son of Arthog, grandson of Ceredig, and greatgrandson of Cunedda Wledig. Inside the present day church can be found an
inscribed stone dating from the 15th century. To the west of the church is St Cyngar’s
Well. The well is also known as Ffynnon y Plas.
The Tre-Garnedd Moated Site, situated behind Bryncefni Industrial Estate, appears
to be amongst the earliest recorded settlements in the vicinity - possibly dating back
to the fourteenth century.
A corn grist mill, situated on the Frogwy / Gafrogwy stream approx. 1½ miles west of
the Pandy, was recorded in Edward III’s the “Extent of Anglesey (1352)”.
Plas Llangefni, situated on the northern edge of the town, was built by William
Bulkeley of the Porthaml (Llanedwen) branch of the Bulkeley family c.1540-1550 and
functioned as the town’s Manor House (Plasty) until the death of Francis Bulkeley in
1714. During this period the Porthaml branch of the Bulkeley family (of Baron Hill)
were the largest and most powerful land owners in Llangefni.
Following the suicide of Francis Bulkeley in 1714 the ownership of Plas Llangefni
and a substantial part of the Parish passed onto the Bulkeleys of Baron Hill,
Beaumaris. The Plasty then became a Farmhouse and its status was further reduced
when prior to its demolition in 1949 it housed the town laundry.
After a legislation passed in 1765 “for repairing and widening the road from
Porthaethwy Ferry to Holyhead” a Turnpike Road was constructed that coursed
through the hamlet of Llangefni. At the time the Llangefni tollgate was one of four
along the road to Holyhead.
Llangefni was served in the eighteenth century by Melin Cefni (Cefni Water Mill). The
Grist Mill was located near the present day Llangefni Public Library on Lôn y Felin
(Mill Street) alongside the canalized water that ran from The Dingle. Pigot’s National
Commercial Directory of 1828/1829 refers to the mill as “the water mill under
Llangefni”. The Mill closed in the early twentieth century but was adapted in the interwar period to generate hydro-electricity for the town. (See Appendices III & IV)
Llangefni is a relatively young town although a market has been present since 1785.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century H Hughes, the rector of the parish
described the town as:
“A pretty little village, romantically situated in a vale with much wood about it. Ye
thirtieth day of September 1785 ye first market was held at Llangefni, it consisted for
that year chiefly of flesh meat, poultry and a little corn. At ye end of ye year 1810
there was in the parish 190 inhabited houses and in ye following spring there were in
it ten houses then building. The families chiefly employed in agriculture 402,
mechanics and handicrafts 39 and the total of all persons was 965.”
Llangefni was the scene of the labours of two of the greatest Welsh Nonconformist
preachers, Christmas Evans and John Elias.
Capel Ebeneser (formerly Cildwrn Chapel) which is situated outside the
Conservation area is a very early chapel dating to 1781 with 1849 alterations. It was
the first meeting house for the Baptists in North Wales associated with the ministry of
Christmas Evans.
By the building the sea and river embankments on Malltraeth Marsh, at the
beginning of the nineteenth century, a total of 2523 acres of land was reclaimed for
agricultural use. It is interesting to note that in Llangefni a portion of the land was
reserved for the use of the poor.
In 1807, replacing a previous ford, Pont Plas/Pont-y-Plas (deriving its name from the
now demolished Plas Llangefni) was erected over the river Cefni. The bridge was
strengthened in 1865 and rebuilt in 1945.
In 1808 Llangefni hosted the county’s first meeting of an agricultural society.
From the 1812 map it is evident that the majority of the land in the town was owned
or leased by a handful of landowners; The Bulkeley Family, O.
P. Meyrick Esq. (Bodorgan), Lord Uxbridge (Plas Newydd), Rev Thomas Ellis, Rev
Henry Hughes (Vicar of Llangefni) and O. A. Poole (Pencraig). (See Appendix IV)
From the beginning of the nineteenth century Llangefni’s stature and importance as
a leading market town grew rapidly at the expense of the Llannerch-y-medd and
particularly Aberffraw markets which saw a decline in stature.
While cattle fairs were traditionally held on the High Street the sale of pigs, goats and
poultry would have been undertaken in the square.
Horses were sold in Church Street.
The first half of the nineteenth century saw the gradual forming of the town.
By 1817 the town’s rapid growth had been such that it was deemed necessary for a
lock-up (Jail) to be built. The lock-up was extended in 1844.
Progress continued the following year with the building of one of the first National
Schools in Anglesey. Schools were run under the patronage
of the Anglican Church and were taught through the medium of English.
The same year (1818) also saw work begin on the Telford Road which saw the town
by-passed and a new coaching inn built at Mona. To lessen the commercial harm the
new road would have on the town a road was built between Llangefni and the new
main road.
Between 1822 and 1824 the present day Parish Church of St Cyngar was built which
replaced an earlier church. The last burial in the Cemetery was in 1868. To ease
maintenance most of the gravestones were relocated in 1973 along the Church wall
etc.
In 1824 a new church was built and a dispensary of the Anglesey Savings Bank was
opened. By 1841 the original Town Hall had been built closely followed in 1844 by
the Independents' Capel Smyrna. By 1845 the tithe map shows that much of the
present day major streets and town lay-out had already been established.
The three-storey Felin Graig (Melin Wynt y Graig, Pencraig) built c.1829, located in a
prominent elevated position to the north-east of the town, remained in use until 1893.
The second half of the century saw the Chester to Holyhead Railway begin operation
in 1848 with Britannia Bridge over the Menai Straits opening two years later. The
branch line to Llangefni opened in 1865.
Replacing the earlier school of 1818, which had fallen into a dangerous state of
disrepair, a new National School and Schoolhouse was built in 1851-2 overlooking
the town on Station Hill. Between 1851-2 the National School and Schoolhouse were
built. (See Appendix V)
A new Police Lock-up/Station was built on Field Street in 1860.
The opening of the new County Court building on Glanhwfa Road on June 13th 1861
further confirmed Llangefni’s dominance over Beaumaris in county affairs.
In the same year (1861) the Llangefni Post Office Savings Bank opened.
Subsequently the Anglesey Central Rail Company was incorporated and by 1865 the
Branch Line to Llangefni had been successfully completed. However, the original
proposed route of the rail line was to the west of the town. (See Appendix VI)
According to Slaters Trade Directory of 1868 the first bank in Llangefni was the
Royal Metropolitan Bank of England.
The Llangefni Branch Line was undoubtedly beneficial to the economy of the town
and surrounding rural villages. Livestock from both the Llangefni and Llannerch-ymedd markets could be transported more efficiently by rail and soon Cattle Pens
were built off the railway line by The Dingle. The transportation of coal too was much
improved by the arrival of the Railway.
The Llangefni Smithfield, situated behind the High Street, only came about as a
result of a council bye-law that prohibited the sale of livestock in the streets.
Slaters Trade Directory of 1868 states that:
“Llangefni is a parish in the hundred of Menai, Isle of Anglesey. The market town is a
small one, the town is washed by the river Cefni (crossed by an ancient bridge of two
arches), and upon the stream are corn mills. The carrying of leather and malting
employ a few of the inhabitants and others are engaged in agriculture....The Bulls
Head Inn the principle [sik principal] commercial hotel is a very respectable and
comfortable establishment, at this house business connected with the inland revenue
is transacted....National and Provincial bank has a branch here, and also savings
bank.”
In the same year the National Gazetteer (1868) describes Llangefni as being:
“situated in a vale, watered by the river Cefni, which is here crossed by a bridge of
two arches. The main road between Bangor and Holyhead passes through it, as well
as the old Roman road. The little town of Llangefni is a
bustling and prosperous place, with a population of about 1,800...The chief
employment of the people are leather dressing, malting, and the woollen
manufacture. There are corn mills on the stream. In the last century it was only a
small hamlet.”
The old Market Hall was taken down in 1882. On March 10th 1884 the Town Hall
opened. It was built on part of the site of the demolished old Market Hall and was
donated, at a cost of £4,500, by Sir R Mostyn Bulkeley to celebrate his son’s 21st
birthday. It was leased to Llangefni Urban District Council in 1897 for £100 a year
until 1915 when sold to them for £3,900. Over the years the hall proved to be a great
asset to the town. (See Appendix VII)
In the first half of the nineteenth century Angharad Llwyd noted the following in her
work ‘Island of Mona’:
“This parish contains 1885 acres of cultivated land... This town is beautifully situated
in a rich and fertile vale...well built and of prepossessing appearance, consisting of
several regular and well-formed streets, with a neat market-house... In 1829...at
Glanhwva...forty human skeletons were found...and in the adjoining field, great
number of human bones are scattered in every direction. These are supposed to be
the remains of the men who fell at the siege of Ynys Gevni. About a mile from
Llangefni, are considerable remains of a paved road... in many places with large
masses of jasper, which is found in a quarry at no great distance, intermixed with grit
stone. It is thought by some antiquaries to be part of a Roman road, which anciently
led from the Moel y Don ferry, across the Menai, to the station at Holyhead...”
As a result of the Act of 1889 the first County School under the control of the County
Council opened in Llangefni in c.1897. After being temporarily housed in the Town
Hall the school moved to a new purpose built building in c.1900 (the present day
Canolfan Penrallt, Coleg Menai building). (See Appendix VIII )
Moriah Chapel, which commemorates John Elias a prominent leader of the
Nonconformist movement in Wales, replaced another large chapel was built in 1897.
The Penuel Baptist Chapel c.1897 which stands at the end of the Field Street is a
memorial chapel to one of the other great nonconformists – Reverend Christmas
Evans. It was built on land known as ‘Y Gerddi’ (The Gardens).
The 1897 Parish of Llangefni Endowed Charities recorded that:
“There are three small houses in the parish, which are now inhabited by three poor
families rent-free, who are placed in them by the vestry...The premises are kept in
repair at the expense of the parish.”
The turn of the century saw the town’s status as the island’s administrative centre
confirmed with the building of the Shire Hall 1899. The town square was completed
with the erection, in 1902, of the town clock which still forms a striking centrepiece
and focal point to the town square.
Another Smithfield is shown on maps dating from c.1900-1920s as being located at
Llawr y Dref. (See Appendices VIII, IX, X, XI, XII & XIII)
In 1910 and again in 1920-1 Baron Hill Estate offered nearly 250 properties in total,
most of which were located in Llangefni and Beaumaris, at auction. (See
Appendices IX, X, XI, & XII)
In June 1915 the Cefni Hospital opened near Pencraig.
The town has two war memorials erected in memory of those who fell in the First
World War. The principal Cenotaph-type memorial (unveiled in 1922) can be found
directly in front of the Shire Hall. The other, unveiled on 7th October, 1921, by a local
Sculptor (Mr J Griffiths of Llangefni) is agreeably set in the grounds of the former
County School. The statue of a Great War soldier with head bowed was erected in
memory of former pupils who fell in the war.
Up until the twentieth century the town’s domestic water was supplied by local
springs. A Reservoir was built c.1910 on the south-western slope of the Cefni Valley
and, as a result of the enlarged population of Anglesey following
World War II, a larger Cefni Reservoir was created in 1951 to the north-west of
Pandy. The Llangefni Water Works were opened in 1943 by Lady Megan Lloyd
George.
Melin Frogwy was still in operation up until the 1940s.
In 1958 Lord Brecon and Cledwyn Hughes M.P. officially opened the Llangefni
Industrial Estate.
In 1964 the Railway line finally closed to passengers although the Associated Octel
Company continued to use the line until the early 1990s.
In recent years a significant amount of large scale development has occurred on the
periphery of the Conservation area e.g. New Housing estates, New Council Offices,
Asda Store and expansion of the Bryn Cefni Industrial Estate.
Despite their scale these developments have had little or no detrimental effect on the
character of the designated area or its setting.
Additional benefits of the Asda development have been the provision of a service
road that redirects traffic away from the busy town centre and the creation of an
additional parking facility within the town.
Summary
•
The nearby Tre-Garnedd Moated Site and Edward III’s recorded corn grist mill
point to the area having a medieval history.
•
The Bulkeleys of Porthaml and Baron Hill were both instrumental to the town’s
growth.
•
In 1765 a Turnpike Road was constructed that coursed through the hamlet of
Llangefni.
•
A town market has been present since 1785.
•
The town is closely associated with two of Wales’ greatest Nonconformist
preachers – Christmas Evans and John Elias.
•
The nineteenth century saw Llangefni’s stature as a leading market town
grow.
•
In 1818 work begin on the Telford Road which saw the town by-passed.
•
The opening of the Llangefni Railway Branch Line in 1865 brought economic
benefit.
•
The latter part of the 19th century saw the forming of the town’s present day
character with the erection of many of its fine Civic and Public buildings.
•
In recent years a significant amount of large scale development has occurred
on the periphery of the Conservation area.
Population change
From 1563 to 1801 the population of the Parish of Llangefni steadily grew from 210
to 539.
However, the 1821 Census figures reveal that over the following twenty year period
the population had grown threefold to 1,737. The dramatic increase reflected the
town’s rapid development at the time. By 1881 the population had fallen to 1,563.
The end of the Second World War saw another significant increase in the population
of the town. In 1931 the population stood at 1,782 rising to 2,510 by 1951 and 3,206
by 1961. The latest Census figures (2001) show the population to be 4,662.
Archaeology
Although most of the town dates to the nineteenth century there is evidence that the
vicinity was occupied from a much earlier age.
Possibly the earliest archaeology artefact to be recovered in the area is a stone
hammer found in a wood at Pencraig which is believed to be from the Bronze Age or
possibly earlier.
From the Roman period an inscribed stone dating from the fifth century can be found
inside the present day church. It is thought by some that the remains of a paved
Roman road, which led from across the Menai Strait to the station at Holyhead, are
in the vicinity.
The area also has a medieval history. A corn mill is recorded nearby in Edward III’s
the “Extent of Anglesey (1352)” whilst the Tre-Garnedd Moated Site may date to
the same period.
Plas Llangefni (c.1540-1550), which is situated on the northern edge of the town,
also points to the continued inhabitancy of the area.
There may well be unknown sites of archaeological interest, having a wide date
range, within the Conservation area. Therefore, opportunities for archaeological
investigation and recording, whether due to re-development or other, will be
recognised and supported by the Council whenever possible.
10. Open spaces
The Conservation area is extensive in size and can be subdivided both
geographically and characteristically into three distinct Sub-Areas e.g. The Dingle
and Coed y Plas, Town Centre and the Glanhwfa Road Ribbon Development as
shown below.
Sub-Area 1
Undoubtedly the most beautiful ‘open space’ to be found in the Conservation area
lies on the section of the river Cefni referred to as The Dingle. Situated to the northwest of the town, The Dingle presently extends as far west as the Pandy and Pont
Plas to the east.
Map evidence of the early and mid nineteenth century refer to The Dingle as Nant
Dilyw (‘Dilyw’ meaning: prone to flooding). The Victorian trend for English placenames throughout Wales saw the name change to The Dingle (a wooded dell or
hollow). The present Welsh name Nant y Pandy (deriving from Pandy – Tŷ
Pannu/Fulling Mill) is very recent.
The Dingle Local Nature Reserve (LNR) has won many awards including UNESCO’s
Man and the Biosphere (MAB) award. It covers an area of approximately 25 acres
(10 hectares) and boasts an extremely varied ecology including a diversity of plant
and animal life.
Note: Many of Britain’s wild plants and animals are legally protected under the
Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Countryside and Rights of Way Act
2000.
A part of The Dingle, linked to the main woodland by a pathway, incorporates Coed y
Plas to the east.
The Dingle and Coed y Plas, to the north of the Church of St Cyngar, and the Afon
Cefni Riverside Walk offer tranquil open spaces close to the heart of the town. All are
popular with both locals and tourists alike.
The footpath that leads from Lon Lâs (Church Terrace) past the church and on
through The Dingle is marked on the Definitive Map of Llangefni.
Sub-Area 2
The recently upgraded riverside walk and cycle link that run along the western bank
of Afon Cefni are a conveniently located public open space that leads into the open
countryside.
Sub-Area 3
Although many of the affluent ribbon development properties along Glanhwfa Road
have extensive gardens there are few public open spaces in sub-area 3.
Summary
•
The award winning Dingle Local Nature Reserve, Coed y Plas, and Afon Cefni
Riverside Walk all offer tranquil open spaces close to the heart of the town.
•
The hard landscaped Bulkeley Square is an attractively set public amenity.
Trees and Hedgerows (See Appendix XIV)
Trees
Although Llangefni may have been described as “seated in a vale with much wood
about it” today woodlands are only found at:
i) Coed-y-Plas and The Dingle. (TPO No. 30 - Map reference 'L')
Important individual or cluster of trees can be found by:
ii) Station Hill (Gallt Y Forwyllt) bridge. (Map reference 'M')
iii) Glanhwfa Road. (TPO No. 18 - Map reference 'N')
iv) Coleg Menai (Canolfan Penrallt). (Map reference 'O')
[Pine trees provide a pleasant backdrop to the War Memorial and former
County School]
v) the old railway line. (Map reference 'P')
Many important trees within the Conservation area have the added protection of
Tree Preservation Orders (TPO's). (See Appendix XIV)
Trees have an important influence on their surroundings in residential areas by;
adding colour, providing pleasant backdrops, as well as softening the solid profiles of
buildings e.g. Glanhwfa Road and Station Hill.
All of the above trees contribute greatly to the overall character of the Conservation
area.
Woodland trees play a major role in the character of the outer fringes of the
Conservation area but less so in the town centre. Significant specimen trees can be
found in the grounds of the Victorian Villas along Glanhwfa Road (TPO No. 18). The
mature trees along this approach road leave a lasting impression on visitors.
Specimen trees have been planted in the streets and car parks to enhance the town
centre.
The trees at The Dingle and Coed-y-Plas are also protected by a Tree Preservation
Order (TPO No. 30).
The tranquil setting of Afon Cefni and riverside walk is enhanced by the trees along
the riverbank.
Subject to some exceptions trees within Conservation areas are protected. Written
notice to the local planning authority is required if it is proposed to carry out any work
to a tree such as cutting, felling, etc. within the designated area.
Species
At the Dingle Local Nature Reserve deciduous trees predominate. Sessile Oak,
Sycamore, Beech and Ash are all commonly found. By the river and further along the
Riverside Walk, favouring the damp environment, Alder trees flourish. On the
western and northern edges of The Dingle Scots Pine prevail. Wild Cherry Trees are
also present.
The trees found at Coed-y-Plas tend to vary somewhat from those found at The
Dingle with Scots Pine, Beech and Sweet Chestnut being more common.
Yew, Cypress and Horse Chestnut trees can be found in the vicinity of the church
grounds. The trees along the railway line are mostly deciduous natives and
sycamore. These trees link the Dingle Woodland with the more open landscape on
the edge of Llangefni, as do those that border Afon Cefni.
Beech and pine are the dominant species on Glanhwfa Road and Station Hill and
are the legacy of Victorian planting schemes around some of the larger houses and
older buildings.
Infill development over the years has not always complemented their retention and
replacement planting of smaller trees will not have the same amenity value.
Hedgerows
Countryside hedgerows are rare within the Conservation area.
Under the Hedgerow Regulations 1997 (S1 No. 1160) it is against the law to remove
most countryside hedgerows without permission.
Flora and Fauna
The Woodland undergrowth of The Dingle and Coed-y-Plas support many plant
species including Moses, Ferns, Blue Bells, Wild Daffodils, Wild Garlic and Wood
Anemones. The damp conditions also promote Lichen in the form of Hepatica
(Liverwort). Laurel has recently colonised the disused allotment gardens between St
Cyngars Well and the Church.
Wildlife
The diversity of The Dingle also supports a great deal of wildlife. Many mammals are
resident in the woodland including: Foxes, Otters, Water
and Bank Voles and Door and Wood Mice etc. Nearly half of the sixteen Bats
species found in Britain have been noted in The Dingle. Of the amphibian and reptile
world Frogs, Newts, Adders and Lizards can all be found. A wide variety of bird life is
also present including the rarer: Sparrow Hawks, Kestrels, Tawny Owls, Kingfishers,
Nightjars and Dippers. The woodland is also a haven for a vast array of insects and
the river is home to a variety of fish.
The disused railway line may also be an important wildlife sanctuary.
11. Townscape
Sub-Area 1
It is thought that the majority of The Dingle is not ancient woodland but was orderly
forested by Thomas James Bulkeley (died 1822) in the late 18th and early 19th
centuries. However, there is also historical evidence to suggest that
the area was wooded prior to this date. William Bingley describes Llangefni in 1798
as: “pretty little village romantically seated in a vale with much wood about it”. A map
of 1812 describes the woodland east of the church (Plot No.73) as ‘The Plantation
above church’. (See Appendix IV)
Sub-Area 2
Before the opening of the post road Llangefni was little more than a hamlet.
However, by 1785 a roadside market had been established.
Soon after, where previously a solitary house had stood by the bridge, houses,
shops and alehouses arose on land primarily owned by Viscount Bulkeley the
majority landowner in the area. (See Appendices III & IV)
Llangefni was described in 1805 as “a decent well-built small town, having besides
the church, two meeting houses for Protestant dissenters, two good inns for the
accommodation of travellers, shops of every description, and its
weekly market is the best supplied of any in Anglesey.”
Records show that in the early 1800s Lord Bulkeley signed a great many leases in
Llangefni to various people (mostly for ‘three lives’ i.e. three generations).
Together with extensive development shown on maps of that period and the
recorded threefold increase in population between 1801-1821 it provides evidence of
the town’s rapid expansion possibly due, in part, to the Turnpike Road passing
through. It is probable that a second significant phase of expansion occurred with the
arrival of the Llangefni branch railway line in 1865. (See Appendices III & IV)
During the mid nineteenth century Llangefni was developed as the county town with
broad streets and impressive public buildings. The ambitious developments together
with its central location have, over the years, made Llangefni the very nerve-centre
of the County’s cultural, political, and economic life as well as the administrative
capital of the island. (See Appendix VII)
Today the town centre is enclosed by a semi-circular bend in the Cefni River to the
north and east and by the railway line to the west.
Four ‘gateways’ provide access into the town. The single arch Pont Plas forms a
formal entrance from the north whilst the twin arched Pont Fawr on Bridge Street,
and the railway bridge on High Street do the same from the east
and west respectively. Along Glanhwfa Road to the south the overhead railway
bridge forms a 'gate' to the town from where the civic stature of the town is boldly
displayed by the two Classical chapels, Shire Hall and the County Court.
There are two civic and religious clusters of listed buildings within the Conservation
area. One is situated around Bulkeley Square and the other by Shire Hall.
The town is well planned having typical Victorian planned wide streets and a series
of imposing public buildings of local (Penmon) limestone.
The spacious town square is dominated by a clock tower and the town hall.
To accommodate the cattle sale the High Street was made purposely wide. The
street was originally called Stryd Gallt Y Forwyllt which possibly meant ‘the large wild
hill’ (mawr + gwyllt).
George Borrow in his book ‘Wild Wales’ (1862) describes Llangefni as “a small but
neat town”.
Before the arrival of the railway Station Hill was called Gallt Y Forwyllt.
The car park to the west of Field Street was originally the old railway shunting yard
with associated Cattle Pens.
Although Plas Llangefni was demolished in 1949 its legacy can still be found in local
place names (e.g. Coed-y-Plas, Plas Newydd, Chwarel Plas, and Pont-y-Plas).
The main passenger entrance to Llangefni Railway Station opened onto Llangefni
High Street whilst access to the cattle pens and sidings was from Field Street. (See
Appendix XIII)
Prior to 1974 poor houses and small shops occupied the land; to the east of the
Town Hall (present day car park), over the southern side of Pont Fawr, beyond
towards the Co-op building, and down along Lôn Y Felin towards where Melin Cefni
lay. (See Appendices VII, VIII, X, & XIII)
Although properties facades may have witnessed many transformations over the
years the town’s stepped roofscape has however remained relatively unchanged.
Victorian architecture is the dominant architectural style within the Conservation
area.
However, examples of the Arts and Crafts Movement, Art Deco and Art Nouveau,
Mock Tudor as well as contemporary designs are all present.
The sloping topography from east to west particularly along Station Hill/High Street
contribute to the stepped roof heights of the terraces.
Llawr y Dref and Ffordd yr Efail, although architecturally less attractive, each play an
important role in how the town contends with modern demands. By allowing service
access to the rear of many of the town’s commercial properties these streets ease
vehicle congestion and reduce pedestrian and vehicle conflict.
Sub-Area 3
The town’s prosperity in the late Victorian period provided the stimulus for an affluent
expansion, in the form of a ribbon development that stretches southwards along
Glanhwfa Road from the Railway Bridge up to the substantial red brick faced
property known as Park Mount. (See Appendices VII, XI, XII & XIII)
Summary
•
The town expanded rapidly between 1801 and 1821.
•
The second half of the nineteenth century saw Llangefni developed as the
county town with broad streets and impressive public buildings.
•
The town has well planned Victorian wide streets, a series of imposing public
buildings, and spacious town square.
•
Victorian architecture is the dominant architectural style.
•
The sloping topography contributes to the stepped roof heights of terraces.
•
The buildings hierarchy range from meanly built flat-fronted working class
terraces to detached late Victorian brick villas and grand public and service
buildings.
Views (See Appendix XV)
There are fine outward views from most parts of the Conservation area but
particularly noteworthy are the views from:
i) Station Hill bridge over a panoramic of the High Street, St Cyngar’s Church, and
distant Melin Wynt y Craig windmill to the east, and beyond towards the Snowdonia
mountain range. (Map reference 'A')
Note: Melin Wynt y Craig (usually known as Melin y Graig), the windmill on top
of Graig Fawr, has unfortunately been capped with an unsympathetic roof
enclosing communications aerials.
ii) Church Street through the gap to the side of Penuel Chapel towards St Cyngar’s
tower. (Map reference ‘B')
iii) the higher ground by Fron Farm east over the island towards Snowdonia and also
to the west over pasture fields. (Map reference 'C')
The double arched Pont Fawr on Bridge Street forms a visual boundary to the east
of the town centre.
There are also fine inward views from:
iv) Graig Fawr (Pencraig) westwards towards the town. (Map reference 'D')
v) Bridge Street towards the Town Clock, Bulkeley Square and High Street. (Map
reference 'E')
vi) Church car park towards St Cyngar’s Church with Coed-y-Plas to the background.
(Map reference 'F')
vii) the higher footpaths of Coed Plas over the town and beyond. (Map reference
'G')
The views into and out of the Conservation area are deemed to be important to the
overall character of the area and therefore the design of any new development
should take the views into consideration.
Former
Historically the town's growth has been linked with the mail road, its role as a market
town, and subsequently as the island’s administrative centre.
Before the end of eighteenth century only a handful of permanent shopkeepers
existed in rural Anglesey. William Lloyd grocer is the only known shopkeeper in
Llangefni.
Indeed the 1831 Beaumaris District – Llangefni Proposed Division of Counties and
Boundaries and Boroughs report stated:
“The Town of Llangefni is small. It has not any trade, nor is it likely to increase much
in importance. The district in which it is situated is purely agricultural. The change in
the direction of the great Holyhead Road, which formerly passed through the Town,
has of late, much tended to diminish its importance. The present principal support of
the Town are the Fairs, and the Market held there...”
However, by 1828 Beaumaris could boast of over 30 permanent shopkeepers, whilst
Holyhead, Amlwch and Llangefni recorded almost as many. The figures had
multiplied threefold by 1868.
Agriculture has, since medieval times, played an important role in the economy of
the island and the parish of Llangefni would have been no exception. The area has
in the main primarily been associated with raising livestock as opposed to producing
arable crops.
Each week the town was invaded by the farmers of the district to sell their butter,
eggs and farm produce and to buy their own goods.
Like most nineteenth century towns Llangefni developed its own craft industries such
as: blacksmiths, coopers, wheelwrights, carpenters, shoemakers and bakers etc.
The woollen industry was also well established with a Fulling Mill at Pandy.
The Pandy (i.e. Ty Pannu - Fulling Mill), later referred to as a Factory, operated from
at least the late eighteenth century until the early twentieth century. Although it is
unlikely that the mill was ever a major employer it is however evident, judging by the
forming of the Annual Anglesey Wool Fair in 1831 and the number of tailors present
in mid and late nineteenth century Llangefni, that the mill may have had a positive
knock-on effect on the local economy. The Mill has recently been demolished.
During the early part of the twentieth century 7% of the town’s population was
unemployed (compared with a figure of 2.5% for the whole of North Wales). In 1914
on average 75 families were in receipt of outdoor parish relief.
Present
Llangefni is the second largest town on Anglesey with a population of 4,662 recorded
in the 2001 census.
Located close to the A55 the town has developed to be the principal administration
centre for Anglesey, as well as being a focal point for many of the surrounding
villages and rural communities.
For its size Llangefni is one of the more remarkable of county towns being the:
administrative capital, market town, cultural centre, and the place of social pilgrimage
for the county’s population as well as being until comparatively recently the centre for
agricultural exchange. Livestock is today sold at Gaerwen.
It is also Anglesey’s second largest employment centre containing a significant
number of both small and large private sector employers.
The town is both a social and economic driver for the island.
Llangefni has recently benefited from substantial amounts of public money
investment e.g. Church Street environmental improvements, building enhancement
schemes in the form of Town Improvement and Commercial
Improvement Grants (e.g. Town Hall, The Bull Hotel and Mona House Coffee Shop),
CCTV, as well as in public spaces including the Afon Cefni riverside walk and cycle
path and Dingle Local Nature Reserve.
Today, the direct economic significance of the agriculture industry in the town is
diminished.
Nevertheless agriculture still plays an important role in the local economy with stock
rearing remaining the primary source of revenue followed by milk production.
The market remains an important town event and is still held twice weekly on its
traditional site in the town square.
National Statistics (2001 Census) figures for Industry of Employment for Llangefni’s
three wards (Cefni, Tudur and Cyngar) show that Manufacturing and Wholesale and
retail trade, repairs are the largest employment sectors accounting for 19.2% and
17.0% respectfully of the total working population of 1,896. Other significant sectors
include: Health and social work (12.7%), Education (9.6%), Construction (8.2%) and
Public administration (7.2%).
The town’s single largest employer is the Isle of Anglesey County Council (c. 500
employees). Other major employers include Grampian Prepared Meats and Eastman
(Peboc Division) chemical works.
Despite this the Long Term Unemployment in the Llangefni and Amlwch Travel to
Work Area (TTWA) for the period between July 2005 and June 2006 is 4.9%.
The Communities First sub-district, Tudur Ward, is also ranked in the top 10-20
percent most deprived in Wales (WIMD 2005).
Opportunities
The draft Llangefni Redevelopment Study (IACC/DEIN) recommends that the historic
market town should continue being the administrative centre for the island and
promote itself as being the primary location for industrial and service industry
investment.
The Wales Spatial Plan (2004) for the North-West Wales area, where Llangefni lies,
sets the following vision:
“A high quality natural and physical environment supporting a cultural and
knowledge-based economy that will help the area maintain its distinctive character,
retain and attract back young people and sustain the Welsh language.”
The Wylfa and AAM: Socio-Economic Impact Assessment, Tribal Consultants (2006)
document highlights an opportunity to “…develop a future beneficial use for the
Gaerwen to Amlwch railway line….Which would include giving consideration to
restoring passenger services.”
The Llangefni Retail Study, MVM Planning (1998) highlights a low level of investor
confidence in the town and a decline in the image, and quality and range of shopping
provision.
The opening of the new Asda store is expected to generate positive benefits to the
town’s centre whilst the Town Hall is a well located asset which is currently under
used.
The town is fortunate to have The Dingle Local Nature Reserve, Oriel, Municipal Golf
Course, Riverside Walk and Cycle Trail as recreational and tourism attractions, all
being conveniently located and having easy public access. The market is also a
popular visitor attraction during the summer months.
It is hoped that along with the recent large scale developments the public money
investment will stimulate the private investment required to complete the town’s
transformation and confirm Llangefni as the County Town and place of business.
There are a few sites within or on the fringes of the Conservation area that offer
development opportunities e.g. Cross Keys, Shire Hall annex and Car Park, former
Smithfield site and on land fronting the attractive Afon Cefni. However, any
developments would need to be sympathetic to the character of the Conservation
area or its setting.
The town is fortunate to be centrally located on the island with a good transport link
via the A55 expressway.
13. Physical fabric
Sub-Area 1
The few buildings or man made structures that are present in sub-area 1 include St
Cyngar’s Church and Rectory, Church Hall, Railway
Bridge and Weir. This sub-area is primarily dominated by the natural landscape.
Sub-Area 2
The architectural style is predominantly Victorian. The buildings hierarchy range from
the meanly built flat-fronted terraces/rows of the working class as can be found on
Field Street and Ffordd Glandŵr to the grander and more substantial public and
service buildings.
This diversity has resulted in varying roof heights and staggered frontages giving the
streets added character and architectural interest.
Sub-Area 3
Late Victorian detached brick villas dominate this ribbon development along
Glanhwfa Road.
Local Building Material and Styles
Styles
Architectural heritage, traditions and Conservation have all become increasingly
important.
British architecture has continually evolved over the centuries. As architectural rules
and fashion changed each period saw the introduction of their own individual
elements and details that came to define the character for that period.
Late Georgian (1765-1811): The earlier Palladian principles of proportion and
uniformity continued to be applied to Late Georgian houses. A strong symmetry e.g.
fenestration and chimney stacks etc. is often a striking characteristic of properties
dating from this period. Llangefni has little or no evidence of buildings dating from the
Late Georgian period.
Victorian (1837-1901): Between the 1850s and 1870s Britain witnessed a building
boom. Gothic Revival (Llangefni Town Hall, Town Clock and Church of St Cyngar)
and Classical (Shire Hall, County Court and Smyrna Congregational Chapel)
detailing were both popular on fashionable public buildings and dwellings of the well
to do. The poor however were often supplied with humble flat-fronted terraces
(Ffordd Glandŵr, Field Street and
narrow streets in the Lôn y Felin area which was then part of the Plas Newydd estate
as opposed to the Bulkeley estate which accounted for the majority of the town).
In between these two extremes stood various identifiable types including: the early
Victorian semi-detached villa (based on Regency models), the detached Italianate
suburban villa of the 1830s and 1840s with stuccoed ground floor and the detached
brick villa based on an asymmetrical plan and Tudor detailing.
The need for services and privacy saw a noticeable increase in the size, height and
scale of the upper middle-class Victorian terrace house.
An almost essential feature of all but the most simple of Victorian houses was the
bay window.
A High Victorian town house would also typically have elaborate door and window
surrounds (Caradog Terrace, Glanhwfa Road).
Arts and Crafts (1860-1925): The basic principles of the Arts and Crafts movement
up until the 1920s was for the use of red brick, stained glass, rough cast render,
white woodwork and porch and oriel windows features (Doldir, Glanhwfa Road).
Art Nouveau (1888-1905): The extravagant Art Nouveau style was never as popular
in Britain as it was on the continent.
Edwardian (1901-1914): Edwardian houses often excelled in scale, proportion,
rhythm, colour, and texture.
Houses from this period generally have a lighter appearance than earlier Victorian
houses with more space devoted to windows. The bay window continued to be a
popular feature.
The ribbon development building boom of the 1920s and 1930s exceeded even that
of the mid Victorian period. The detached villas along Glanhwfa Road are typical
examples of this boom.
In the country, mock Tudor remained a popular Edwardian style, with leaded
windows and half-timbering (Institute building, High Street).
Building Material
Walls – front elevations within the town centre are predominantly painted render on
walls of contemporary or traditional construction. However, there are good examples
of both stone (e.g. Market Hall and Bull Hotel) and red brick faced (e.g. Park Mount)
buildings. Rendered walls can be rough-cast or smooth. The rear of many of the
older buildings remains un-rendered.
Alterations to wall surfaces can be the most damaging to the overall appearance of a
historic building. Alterations and repairs should respect the existing fabric and match
in materials, texture, quality and colour.
Shaped gables can be found to prominent elevations e.g. The Old Foundary Vaults.
Original wagon door openings to the rear of properties still survive on Church Street
and Ffordd Glandŵr.
Render colours – pastel-colours pre-dominate both residential and commercial
frontages.
Roofs – the roofs in Llangefni are slate covered. Black, blue and red coloured
decorative ridge tiles are all common.
The town’s roof lines and building lines continually alter along the length of streets.
Interspersed gables, parapets, dormers and occasional variation in roof pitch give
added interest to the roofscape. As a result, together with the physical need to
address the natural gradient the varying roofscape has become an extremely
important architectural characteristic of the town particularly when viewed from the
higher ground of Station Hill (Allt Y Forwyllt).
Roof lines are nearly always dominant features of buildings. The retention of the
original shape, pitch, cladding and ornament is therefore important.
Original decorative ridge tiles and finials still survive to roof ridges. Clay or timber
finials can also be found on parapets and pilaster head cases.
Chimney stacks – both stone and red brick stacks are common with many having
been rendered. Chimney stacks are both formal and functional features of the
roofscape. Although regrettably some stacks have been reduced in height or pots
removed, thus altering the original character of the buildings, the vast majority are
still standing with many retaining their original decorative pots.
Chimneys are prominent features particularly when viewed from higher ground e.g.
Station Hill (Gallt Y Forwyllt).
Windows – windows form one of the most significant elements of a building. Their
style and proportion vitally affect the character of elevations. Windows are often the
dominant feature in otherwise plain facades.
A great number of original windows to first floor levels remain. Many have decorative
surrounds.
Ground floor Bay windows (usually with hipped roofs) and upper-storey Bay
windows, which were practically essential features on Victorian houses, are common
throughout the town.
Most of the original windows in Llangefni are of nineteenth century sash type. Some
unsympathetically styled uPVC replacement windows have been installed.
The Isle of Anglesey County Council have produced a Conservation Guide for
Windows and Doors. Grander and service buildings (e.g. Market Hall and adjacent
hotels) tend to have more numerous and larger scale window openings than
domestic buildings. Wall to window proportions can therefore differ greatly
dependant on the scale and use of the building.
Dormer and domed windows – Dormer and domed windows are commonplace
particularly in the town centre.
Doors – domestic and public buildings door styles and sizes within the Conservation
area can vary widely.
Original doorways and any surviving original doors should be retained. Unavoidable
replacement doors should be appropriate to the character of the building. Doors and
windows would traditionally have been painted.
Many doors still retain their original decorative plaster surrounds.
The Isle of Anglesey County Council has produced a Conservation Guide for
Windows and Doors.
Fanlights – semi-circular fanlights and simple rectangular transom lights are both
familiar features above doors of residential and commercial properties.
Surrounds/Mouldings – decorative plaster surrounds to windows and doors are
common. There are also examples of carved limestone/ sandstone surrounds.
Porches, canopies and pediments – porches and pediments are rare features in
the commercial centre. There is some evidence of wall mounted slate pitched or flat
roofed canopies. However, the predominant features that offer shelter from the
elements are simple deep reveals.
Shop fronts – new shop fronts should be designed in sympathy with the elevation
and incorporate any ground floor details of interest.
Good examples of recent refurbishments include 1 Bulkeley Square (Mona House
Coffee Shop - former Mona Temperance Hotel), 16 High Street (Anglesey Domestic
Appliances) and 15 Church Street (Jardines County Florist).
Pilasters, Head cases, Finials and Capitals – original decorative stone and brick
shop Pilasters, often surmounted by decorative Head cases, Finials or Capitals still
survive. Cornices (Fascias) / Brickwork - both red and yellow coloured brick cornices
are common particularly on the larger commercial properties.
Sundry goods – some original Victorian and Edwardian decorative cast iron
guttering and down pipes still survive.
Streetscape
Business signage – advertising and lighting can have a considerable impression
upon the visual appearance of a street. The design should not dominate or detract
from the character and built form of the setting.
Traditional bracketed hanging signs could be appropriate on certain buildings.
Large or internally illuminated signs are not appropriate in a traditional town centre
setting simple painted signage within the fascia of the shop front, with recessed
lighting, are preferred. Up-lighters, down-lighters and halo lighting are preferred.
Sandwich ‘A’ boards on public footway are not permitted. Multiple advertisement and
traffic signage should be constrained to avoid untidy proliferation.
The use of fixed 'Dutch' blinds and shiny plastic blinds, which are not local styles,
should be avoided. Traditional canvas box blinds incorporated into timber painted
shop front are preferred.
The County Council publish General Design Guidance on Shop Fronts which give
advice to developers on appropriate styles, materials, scale and proportions.
Security Shutters – to help prevent an oppressive after dark street scene shop front
security measures should use; internal lattice shutters and/or toughened/laminated
glass that do not normally require planning permission.
Alternatively lattice or perforated colour powder coated shutters incorporated into
new shop fronts will need to obtain planning permission. The Isle of Anglesey County
Council can offer advice on appropriate security shutters.
Street Furniture – a number of predominately forecast metal: finger posts, lighting
columns, seating, railings, litter bins (plastic), have over the recent years been
erected in the town centre.
All modern additions are of a uniform Gunmetal Grey colour (BS No. 18B29).
Boundary Walls – random rubble, dressed and semi-dressed stone boundary walls
pre-dominate original enclosures.
Stone pillars – some original stone gate pillars still survive even in the town centre.
Street surface – modern York stone paving has been introduced to the commercial
centre (i.e. High Street and Church Street) whilst sections of attractive granite sets
have been laid around Bulkeley Square, along High Street and, to a limited extent,
on Glanhwfa Road. All roads have black tarmac finish.
The use of Conservation traffic markings and signs will be more appropriate for use
in designated Conservation areas.
Ironwork – original and later Cast Iron railings and gates can be found on the
residential properties along Ffordd Glandŵr, Caradog Terrace, Penrallt Terrace,
around the public buildings surrounding the Cenotaph, as well as around other public
buildings such as chapels etc. Their retention and repair will be supported.
Traditional heavy Cast Iron street gutters can be found along the Glanhwfa Road
side of the Bull Hotel.

Listed below are descriptions of the most notable buildings within the Conservation
area.
1. Moriah Calvinistic Methodist Chapel including forecourt wall and gates
(Grade II* Listed Building built 1897):
It is an imposing two-storey Classical style chapel designed by Richard Thomas
(although altered due to costs by Owen Moris Roberts) comprising 5-bay, pediment
front flanked by shorter staircase and entrance bays, main body of chapel a 5window range.
The principal elevation has a strong symmetry. It is an especially fine urban chapel,
ambitious in scale and in the detail of its rich Neo-Classical and Renaissance
vocabulary. Its architectural elaboration stresses the entrance front.
2. Town Hall (Grade II Listed Building c. mid 19th century):
It was extensively damaged by fire in November 1992. It is a tall, two-storey, civic
building in Neo-Gothic style. Faced with rock-faced limestone masonry; it has a
modern slate roof with stone copings and decorative terracotta ridge tiles. It is a
striking example of a prominently sited civic building where Parliamentary and
County election results were announced from the first floor balcony which faces the
square. Forms part of a visual group with the adjacent Bull Hotel and Town Clock.
The hall is an interesting essay in civic gothic, using form and decorative detail to
express a clear hierarchy of function.
3. Town Clock (Grade II Listed Building built 1902):
It is a neo-Gothic memorial clock tower in memory of George Pritchard Rayner of
Trescawen, who died in Blomfontein Hospital, July 1900. It was built of snacked
limestone masonry. It has a polygonal tower with pediment gables stressing cardinal
faces, terminating in a conical spire with domed windows, all surmounted by a
weathercock. It has a tapered plinth with a recessed metal lion-head, and water
spouts over curved trough and curved basin. It is a striking and unusual example of a
memorial clock tower employing a robust gothic idiom. Its prominent location in the
centre of the town makes it a striking focal point.
4. The Bull Hotel including stable courtyard to rear (Grade II Listed Building
c.1850-1865):
It is a large Victorian Inn, built in 17th century vernacular style on the site of an Inn
known as Pen-y-Bont dating from the 17th century which became the Bull’s Head in
1817 (taking its name from the crest of the Bulkeley family of Baron Hill coat of arms
who were the major landowners in the town). It is faced with limestone rubble, and
freestone dressings with rough facings. It has a slate roof with raking gable parapets
on kneelers, and gable apex ball finials.
Built to an L-shaped plan, the main part of the Hotel is a double-depth, three-storey
building, with a full-height gabled wing to the rear. The gabled wing is abutted by the
lofted tack rooms and servant quarters which form one side of the U-shaped range of
outbuildings to the rear of the Hotel; the opposite side is formed by a lofted stable
range and coach-houses. It is a good, substantially complete example of a Victorian
coaching Inn and courtyard range. The Inn is ambitiously scaled and particularly well
detailed example of neo-vernacular design.
5. The Market Hotel (Grade II Listed Building c.Early 20th century):
It is a two-storey building with attics public house and hotel, 3-bay frontage, ground
floor faced with red bricks with rounded sills; 1st floor and attic storeys smooth
rendered. Mansard roof, with projecting eaves, of slates laid to diminishing courses,
with 3 intricately shaped gabled dormers. It is a good example of an inter-war
purpose-designed town pub, which retains its original detail externally.
6. Doldir (Grade II Listed Building built 1913):
It was built as a doctor’s surgery and residence in the ‘Arts and Crafts’ style. It has a
roughcast render and graded slate roof, with the eaves overhanging on exaggerated,
scrolled brackets. The end wall has axial stacks. It has two storeys with attics. The
front elevation is dominated by an advanced boldly asymmetrical gable to right, with
full height canted bay window with paired 8-pane sashes, and small-paned semicircular window towards apex. It has a tripartite oriel window (lighting stairs), and is a
remarkably complete example of an Arts and Crafts house by a local architect; in its
bold massing, lively composition, and carefully accented detail, the house
exemplifies the expressive neo-vernacular properties of a strong ‘Arts and Crafts’
tradition on the island, together with references to the dynamism of Art Nouveau.
7. War memorial in front of the Shire Hall (Grade II Listed Building dated 1922):
It is a Cenotaph-type First World War memorial designed by W F Brindle and H H
Williams, and built by Mr J Griffiths of Llangefni. It has three parts, set on a square,
bevelled-stepped plinth.
8. Shire Hall (Grade II Listed Building built in 1899 and extended 1912):
It is a large 2-storey civic building in decorative Jacobethan style with
Classical detail. It is faced with snacked rubble masonry with freestone dressings
and quoins to the advanced gable bays. It has tall rectangular stone stacks, and is a
good example of a late 19th century civic building, employing the mix of vernacular
and renaissance elements favoured at the time in civic architecture, lending a quasidomestic character to the building. The Shire Hall forms part of an excellent group of
civic and religious buildings at the turn of the century, reflecting the development of
Llangefni as the county town.
As an essay in civic design it provides a particularly interesting contrast with the
earlier Town Hall.
9. Smyrna Congregational Chapel and Hall (Grade II Listed Building built 1903):
It is a gable-entry chapel and adjacent hall linked by a vestibule. Simple Classical
front faced with snacked rubble and freestone dressings, with other elevations
rendered. The front elevation is symmetrically planned with the entrance in the
slightly recessed central bay set under a rounded arch. It is a well preserved
example of an early 20th century chapel and hall.
10. County Court (Grade II Listed Building c.1860s):
It is a robust, single-storied Neo-Classical style courthouse. The main courtroom
stands to centre rear to form a T-plan. It is faced with limestone ashlars and a rockfaced plinth. It consists of a shallow-hipped slate roof to the entrance block. The front
elevation is of 5 bays, and it is a well preserved example of a mid 19th century court
building, with its Italianate styling lending a bold simplicity of design apt for its scale.
11. Church of St Cyngar (Grade II Listed Building built 1824 with 1889
addition):
It is a simple Gothic style nave, vestry and tower with a perpendicular chancel added
(c.1889) at end. It was built of local, roughly dressed, coursed masonry with
sandstone dressings; slate roof with stone gable apex crosses and pointed-arched
windows and doorways. It is an unusual but an aesthetically pleasing example of an
early (pre-archaeological) Gothic revival church with a characteristic wide-nave plan,
and Gothic detail has been used decoratively to picturesque effect. The church
replaced an earlier church which was situated on the same site. (See Appendices III
& IV)
To the north porch is a 15th century doorway with casement-moulded jambs with
spandrels decorated with trefoils. It is reputed to be from the old church, having been
reset for a while in a garden wall at Pencraig, and is probably the oldest surviving
architectural feature in central Llangefni.
12. Gates & Arch to Church of St Cyngar (Grade II Listed Building built 1890):
It is a perpendicular style gateway built of rock-faced limestone masonry, set within
the rubble churchyard wall. A double gateway is set into a wide, elliptical-headed
arch of three orders with hood mould. It is a striking example of a church gateway,
bold in design and construction.
13. Former National School and Schoolhouse (Grade II Listed Building built
1851-2):
The school and two-storey schoolhouse were built as one range. The school was
accommodated in a staggered wing of two units. The range is faced with local rubble
set roughly to courses and freestone dressings; steeply pitched slate roofs with
stone copings and ashlars stacks. The school has horned sash windows. It is a well
preserved range, designed in a strong vernacular idiom, and retains the practical
character of its design, as well as many exterior features.
14. Pont Fawr (date uncertain):
A twin arched stone bridge on the site where a bridge was recorded as early as
1675. The bridge still retains shops on its north side whereas the earlier shops once
present on the southern side were demolished in 1974. (See Appendix IV)
15. Police Station / Lock-up (built c.1860):
It is a stone-faced largely unaltered purpose built lock-up, internally retaining a cell
with a heavy door and a peep-hole to the ground floor. The first floor was used as a
Magistrates court.
16. County School and associated War Memorial (c.1900 and 1921):
It is a purpose-built school displaying strong symmetry with twin shaped gables to
central block and single storey wings to sides. It is faced with snacked rubble
masonry with freestone dressings to its front elevation. Its roofs are of slate with
decorative round clay ridge tiles. The later memorial statue on plinth of a soldier, by
local sculptor Mr J Griffiths of Llangefni, to the front grounds commemorates former
pupils who fell in the Great War.
15. Positive and negative elements
Positive Elements
Protection given under; Conservation Area, Listed Buildings, Tree Preservation
Orders and Local Nature Reserve designations are all helpful tools in safeguarding
the special character of the Conservation area.
The design and build quality of some of the more prestigious historic buildings is of a
high standard.
The majority of the listed buildings appear to be in a good state of repair.
A Historic Building Condition Survey (Visual only): Buildings At Risk (BAR) 2000
revealed that only one listed building within the Conservation area was deemed to be
‘At Risk’ - Former National School and Schoolhouse.
The Listed Building status of many of the most important buildings within the
Conservation area has helped preserve the character, form and architectural detail
of the buildings.
Numerous original detail survive throughout the town centre.
Good examples of recent refurbishments include 1 Bulkeley Square (Mona House
Coffee Shop - formerly the Mona Temperance Hotel and Mona Cafe), 16 High Street
(Anglesey Domestic Appliances) and 15 Church Street (Jardines County Florist).
Original decorative Pilasters, Head cases, Finials and Capitals still survive within the
Conservation area although some may be in need of restoration.
The numerous notable individual or clusters of trees within the Conservation area
are seen as positive components.
The major developments and public investment have brought about economic
benefits and restored confidence to the protected area and thus encouraged
investment in the town centre, building stock that will help safeguard their future and
in turn the character of the town.
It is a glowing testimony to the quality of the original buildings that the overall form of
the Conservation area has remained relatively unchanged over the last century. It is
the loss of architectural detailing that often contributes greatly to the special
character of the town that is at greatest risk primarily due to lack of building
maintenance or unsympathetic alterations.
It is seen as a positive element that there is potential within the Conservation area
for enhancement.
Summary
•
The design and build quality of the more prestigious historic buildings is of a
high standard.
•
The majority of the listed buildings appear to be in a good state of repair.
•
Numerous original details survive throughout the town centre.
•
There are good examples of recent sympathetic refurbishments.
•
The major developments and public investment have brought about economic
benefits and restored confidence.
Negative Elements
A pebble dashed finish has been introduced to some historic residential terraces.
The neglect of general building maintenance throughout the town e.g. removal of
vegetation growth from chimneys and guttering, replacement of missing down pipes,
infrequent painting of timberwork etc. will eventually lead to greater costs and loss of
historic detailing.
The Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB) publication ‘A Stitch in
Time: Maintaining your Property Makes Good Sense and Saves Money’ offers
valuable advice to historic property owners.
There are instances where inappropriate use of modern cladding has occurred.
The dilapidated or poor state of repair of a handful of buildings detracts from the
Conservation area’s visual quality. Unfortunately some commercial properties have
been vacant for a considerable length of time e.g. 3 High Street and No’s 18-20
Glanhwfa Road.
The Buildings At Risk (BAR) survey revealed that the historic Former National
School and Schoolhouse was deemed to be ‘At Risk’.
The introduction of unsympathetically styled uPVC windows and doors to historic
buildings can drastically affect the character of elevations.
Use of other non-traditional material and detailing can also erode the special interest
and character of the Conservation area.
Installation of non-conservation type roof lights can gravely alter the character of
roofscapes e.g. rear of Doldir (LB).
The prominent placing of satellite dishes and wheelie bins can be a visual
distraction.
A number of unsympathetic shop front alterations have been undertaken using nontraditional material such as aluminium and uPVC. Shop fronts should be designed in
sympathy with the elevation and incorporate any ground floor details of interest.
Non-conservation style plastic business signage has also been introduced to a
number of prominent commercial properties.
Traditional signage should be encouraged particularly in the historic core of the town.
However, the bland pre-designation Glan Cefni tower flats are an unfortunate
addition within the historic core of the town. However, the building’s obscured setting
does minimise its impact.
The loss of architectural detail e.g. traditional shop fronts etc. is seen as a negative
element.
The value of the Afon Cefni as a landscape asset is currently under exploited with
land uses along great parts of the river comprising unattractive car parks and storage
areas.
Summary
•
A few properties are in a poor state of repair. Lack of maintenance will lead to
loss of historic detailing.
•
Inappropriate modern cladding, including pebble dash, has been introduced.
•
The introduction of non-conservation type roof lights and unsympathetically
styled uPVC windows and doors can drastically affect the Conservation area
character.
•
Prominent satellite dishes and wheelie bins can be a visual distraction.
•
Unsympathetic shop front alterations have been undertaken using nontraditional e.g. aluminium and uPVC.
•
Non-conservation style plastic business signage has also been introduced to
prominent commercial properties.
•
The attractively set land fronting Afon Cefni is currently under exploited.
