NOTES ON THE FLOOD AT GLYN, By Mr. F. E. Rooper (Continued), 
the road was made in 1859. An engine was got over the tramway at this 
point, at great risk, on the 31st, and soon afterwards the tramway disappeared 
in the flood. The ground floor of The Glyn Valley Hotel was flooded to a 
depth of 2ft. 1oin., owing to the brook known as the Lavar getting blocked by 
timber swept down by the flood. Part of the large retaining wall of the main 
road, some 100 yards or so the Glyn side of New Mills, was washed away, 
and great gaps were made in the road. Considerable damage was done to 
the main road opposite the Hotel at Glyn, and to the road leading to the 
Station. The culvert under the old main road from Glyn to Chirk, at the 
Dryll, burst, and the road was blocked; the road from the bridge, by the 
sewerage tank, was in consequence flooded, and, at one time, the water was 
up to the bellies of passing horses. Lower down, at Pontfadog, another 
culvert burst, doing great damage to the road, At various points between 
Glyn and the old Herber Toll-gate, the river retaining-wall was swept away 
and the road damaged. Near the Heber Toll-gate the whole of the bed of 
the tram was washed away, and most of the road, the traffic having to be 
diverted through the adjoining field.
