Background
History
"Maespoeth" translates as "Hot Field", and this name is shared with a nearby house. The horse-hauled Corris Machynlleth and River Dovey Tramroad was opened in 1859, connecting the Aberllefenni quarries to river wharves at Derwenlas and Morben. In the early 1860s, the Upper Corris Tramway was built from the slate quarries around Corris Uchaf down to Maespoeth and a loop and junction was built here.
