History

Victorian terrace of workers' cottages, probably erected c1870. The Bala to Dolgellau railway, which included a station at Llanuwchllyn, opened in August 1868 and this and other terraces in Llanuwchllyn are representative of its impact on the village. The buff-coloured stock bricks used for dressings were doubtless brought in by rail.

Nos. 1-4 Station Road (consec).
