Llangybi railway station (Ceredigion) Llangybi railway station (Ceredigion) Llangybi railway station, previously served the village and rural locale of Llangybi on the Carmarthen Aberystwyth Line in the Welsh county of Ceredigion. The Manchester and Milford Railway (M&MR) opened from Pencader to Aberystwyth on 12 August 1867. The line went into receivership from 1875 to 1900. The Great Western Railway took over the service in 1906, and fully absorbed the line in 1911. The Great Western Railway and the station passed on to British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was then closed by the British Railways Board. The OS maps and photographs show that
Huwal of the West Welsh Huwal of the West Welsh Huwal was a Brittonic monarch of the early to mid-10th century whose name appears in the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" as the ruler of the "West Welsh". His identity is a matter of debate: "West Welsh" in medieval English sources usually refers to the Cornish or Dumnonians, suggesting Huwal may have been an otherwise unknown king of that region, but many scholars identify him instead with Hywel Dda of Deheubarth, in western Wales. Huwal is recorded just once in the entry for 926 in manuscript D of the "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle" as "Huwal king of the West Welsh"
