- ‘Atomic structures: how nuclear power stations in North Wales impacted people and places’
The future of relatively ‘clean’ nuclear energy is of the greatest importance to our national economy and our path toward ‘net zero’. The rate of development of nuclear energy in Britain since the 1960s has been significantly affected by societal attitudes. This talk will consider the history and local impacts of three nuclear power stations in North Wales: Trawsfynydd, Wylfa and Edern (a station proposed for the Llŷn Peninsula that was never built, but was a notable feature of the nuclear discourse). Based on recent research at Bangor University, the talk will examine the repercussions of the industry on landscape, language and local politics from the 1950s to the 1980s.

- Bodorgan Estate Heritage Route
The Bodorgan Estate (https://www.bodorgan.com/) located in south-west Anglesey has received a Welsh Government grant to construct a new public footpath through part of the estate, linking to the existing Wales Coast Path. The development of the footpath infrastructure will proceed alongside a programme of habitat restoration. The route will embrace several important landscape features, linked to the social, cultural and economic history of Anglesey. The project is committed to sharing this landscape history with future users of the footpath through the installation of appropriate heritage interpretation along the route. The Bodorgan Estate is collaborating with Bangor University’s Institute for the Study of Welsh Estates (http://iswe.bangor.ac.uk/) to deliver these objectives.
The Project Team (Shaun Evans, Marc Collinson, and Mari Wiliam) advised and supervised the work of two paid postgraduate interns (Matthew Rowland and Catrin Williams). They undertook archival work at Bodorgan and interviewed members of the local community to provide historical information and oral testimony to aid the creation of heritage interpretation along the path and online. Members of the team intend to produce academic-level publications in due course.
