It is shown on the 1901 25 inch map as Y Cyt (The Cut). Wikipedia has a paragraph under Tremadog. "Madocks enlarged a drainage ditch to the river Glaslyn to form a canal which was opened in about 1815. It was used for 35 years to carry copper ore from a local mine, before being replaced by a tramline.[30]" The reference is to p.189 of Paget-Tomlinson, Edward (2006). The Illustrated History of Canal & River Navigations (3rd edition). Landmark Publishing. ISBN 1-84306-207-0.<br /><br />Were you aware of this lost canal?
