season 1:
Five-part series following the everyday work of the Aberystwyth-based Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales.
episode 1: Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
This episode looks at one of the great engineering achievements of the Industrial Revolution, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct, tests the date of an ancient gate at Hay Castle and explores what may be a lost church spotted from the air in the Conwy Valley.
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct
Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is one of the world's greatest engineering achievements. It was built between 1795 and 1805 to carry the Ellesmere Canal to link the coal mines of Denbighshire to the national canal system and the heartlands of the Industrial Revolution.
The terrain presented many obstacles to the engineers, William Jessop and Thomas Telford, the greatest of which was the crossing of the Dee valley. With its nineteen spans and height of 38.4 metres, Pontcysyllte Aqueduct was the tallest aqueduct in the world for 200 years. This spectacular achievement was made possible by the pioneering use of cast iron and the aqueduct became famous as one of the symbols of the new industrial age.

episode 2:
Episode Two follows the extraordinary rediscovery of an Industrial Revolution copperworks in Swansea through an urgent rescue excavation, sees night-time photography of a lost early medieval inscription and reveals a vast Iron Age hillfort near Welshpool, hidden in dense woodland.
The gates of Hay Castle
Surviving gates from the Middle Ages are extremely rare. The gates at Hay Castle can easily be overlooked as they are in a long-closed gateway at the rear.
The castle was rebuilt as a house in the seventeenth century and is now part of the longest-established bookshop in the town of books.
