What happened to the Snowdonia 1890 cottages?
Once the cameras had stopped rolling, the production team started work on dismantling the Braddocks' cottage, ‘Llety’.
We had originally hoped to be able to rebuild the structure elsewhere and open it to the public but, due to severe weather damage and the difficulties of removing the building from the hillside without damaging it, we were forced to skip it! A great shame as it looked so authentic.
Tal y Braich was a complete restoration
When asked, most visitors to the location found it impossible to distinguish between the ‘real’ cottage and the ‘replica’ one.
As for the Jones’ cottage, ‘Tal Y Braich’, is a Grade II listed structure that we had painstakingly restored in partnership with CADW. It’s available to view by appointment with the property owner. One thing to note is that the cottage interiors, as seen in the series, were furnished with hired props - all of which were removed at the end of the filming period.

As an english re enactor who has just discovered the series, this is unbeliably frustrating as I believe there are no plans for a dvd. It wasn't broadcast here, is there any way to view it now or is it lost to all us english folk?

As we understand it, Snowdonia 1890 will be broadcast early in the new year on Ö÷²¥´óÐã Two Wales. There will be five, 60-minute programmes, and each programme will include previously unseen footage.
You can no doubt catch up with the series on the Ö÷²¥´óÐã iPlayer during this time.

I need colour pictures of people in period style clothing and some of the pictures on your facebook are just what i need, would you be able to send me some high quality images? I'm interesting in any to do with the church or the slate quarry preferably. Thanks for your help. Pete
