Bron-y-Garth

From Festipedia, hosted by the FR Heritage Group

One time residence of Charles Easton Spooner, and home to his minature railway with Topsy. On his death the house passed to his sons Percy & Charles Edwin. They lived in it for a while and then sold it to Randal Casson, a solicitor with the partnership Breese, Jones & Casson.

Situated on the opposite side of the harbour to the FR station and high above the slate wharves on Y Garth it was, and still is, just about the most imposing house in Porthmadog. With a telescope it would have been possible to see much of what was going on at Boston Lodge.

It is now a nursing home.
