title: Vale of Clwyd Railway

abstract: The Vale of Clwyd Railway (VoCR) was a standard-gauge line, which connected the settlements of Rhyl, St Asaph and Denbigh in North Wales. It opened in 1858, at first without a connection to the main line at Rhyl, but this was provided in 1862. At Denbigh, a connection could be made on to the Mold and Denbigh Junction Railway. Although the area became popular with holidaymakers from the 1920s, the line never realised its potential; it closed to passengers in 1955 and completely in 1968.

# Vale of Clwyd Railway

The **Vale of Clwyd Railway** (VoCR) was a standard-gauge line, which connected the settlements of Rhyl, St Asaph and Denbigh in North Wales. It opened in 1858, at first without a connection to the main line at Rhyl, but this was provided in 1862. At Denbigh, a connection could be made on to the Mold and Denbigh Junction Railway. Although the area became popular with holidaymakers from the 1920s, the line never realised its potential; it closed to passengers in 1955 and completely in 1968.

## Conception

The Chester and Holyhead Railway completed its main line in 1850. There was a considerable area of agricultural land south of the line, towards Denbigh, and a number of schemes were put forward to serve the area. The C&HR found itself short of funds to complete its main line, so it was left to independent promoters to put a scheme forward.

This proved to be the Vale of Clwyd Railway, which was authorised by Parliament on 23 June 1856. Contracts for construction were awarded to David Davies and Thomas Savin.

## Opening

The line was 10 miles (16 km) in length, built as a single line with space on the formation for double track later. Construction was fairly rapid, and the line opened on 5 October 1858, for passengers and goods. There were four trains each way every weekday. The Denbigh station was a temporary structure, and the permanent building opened in December 1860.

Stations were at Foryd, Rhuddlan, St Asaph, Trefnant and Denbigh. A VoCR director, Whitehall Dod, had the right to stop trains adjacent to his estate at Llannerch, a mile north of Trefnant, until December 1871 when that right expired. There was also a siding for a brickworks at the locality. The siding was extended during World War II for use in connection with an army stores depot.

## Extension to Rhyl

In 1860, the Company sought powers to enter Rhyl station with their trains; the station was on the main line, now controlled by the London and North Western Railway. The LNWR was agreeable, but demanded reciprocal running powers to Denbigh, obviously an unequal trade; as a result, the deal did not go ahead.

Hugh Robert Hughes of Kinmel Hall owned land at Foryd beach and a pier there, from which he operated steamers. He had hoped that the Vale of Clwyd Railway would run to his pier and make connections there, but this would have involved crossing the Chester and Holyhead Railway main line; that company objected, chiefly because they feared competing steamer traffic to Liverpool from Hughes' pier. However, the VoCR had laid a temporary branch siding to the beach from their Foryd station, for the purpose of acquiring track ballast. Hughes took possession of the branch siding, saying that he would use it for ordinary railway purposes and connect with the VoCR at Foryd station.

The C&HR forcibly ejected Hughes' men from the branch line, but Hughes secured an injunction in his favour and the short branch was operated as a full railway to and from the pier. The feared steamers to Liverpool operated in connection. However, the steamer operator discovered that the VoCR was negotiating with the LNWR to lease the line to the larger company; other internal hostilities surfaced and the VoCR was riven with dissension.

## Connections to other lines

Denbigh was not destined to be a terminus; the Denbigh, Ruthin and Corwen Railway was authorised on 23 July 1860. This, coupled with the Vale of Llangollen Railway and an extension to Corwen, meant that a viable route from Ruabon and the Great Western Railway could be created.

At this time, there was every likelihood of the Great Western Railway reaching Rhyl, an important regional centre, along the lines from Ruabon via Llangollen and Corwen. For some time this seemed inevitable but, in time, the GWR lost interest and the scheme was not pursued.

On 30 June 1862, the extension sought by the pier owner Hughes was passed in Parliament; now the VoCR could legally reach the beach and a new pier, and a proper junction with the C&HR line (now under LNWR control) could be made. Goods traffic started in the latter half of 1864 and, after some difficulty, the extension was passed for passenger operation, but this was never acted upon.

## Train services

In December 1862, the Oswestry Advertiser newspaper reported that additional passenger services would be provided by attaching passenger coaches to goods trains:

> "much increased accommodation, making... six trains daily between Rhyl and Denbigh and five between Ruthin and Rhyl... the Company do not of course guarantee exact time with the goods trains, having made these arrangements at the request of several inhabitants... in the Vale."

In 1864, the LNWR was formally authorised to work the VoCR line, as they had been doing informally, and the company was absorbed by the LNWR by Act of 15 July 1867.

Bradshaw's Guide for 1895 listed the train service; there were six trains each way between Denbigh and Rhyl, calling at all stations. Most of the trains made reasonable connections at Denbigh.

## From railway grouping to closure

At the beginning of 1923, the railways of Great Britain were grouped into four new large companies, under the Railways Act 1921. The LNWR was a constituent of the new London Midland and Scottish Railway. Seaside holidays were increasingly popular and the North Wales coast was an attractive destination. The passenger trains service was augmented accordingly and seventeen trains ran each way daily in the summer in the 1930s.

Nevertheless, the line remained a rural outpost and use of the line declined; it was closed to passengers on 19 September 1955 and completely from 1965.

Today, only the northern section of the trackbed remains intact as far as the North Wales Expressway, just before St Asaph station.

# Susanna Carson Rijnhart

**Susanna "Susie" Carson Rijnhart**, (later **Moyes**, 1868 – 1908) was a Canadian medical doctor, Protestant missionary, and Tibetan explorer. She was the second Western woman known to have visited Tibet, after Annie Royle Taylor.

## Early life and marriage

Susie Carson was born in 1868 in Chatham, Ontario. At the age of twenty she graduated from Trinity College in Toronto as a medical doctor. She was in private practice for six years in Ontario. She joined the Methodist church at the age of sixteen, and became active in both Methodist and non-Methodist organizations such as Epworth League and Christian Endeavor. She later worked for the Disciples of Christ.

In 1894 she met Petrus Rijnhart, a Dutch-born former missionary with the China Inland Mission. Rijnhart had worked in the Netherlands for the Salvation Army but was sent to Canada in 1886 to avoid charges of sexual assault. He eventually made it to China and worked for three years with the CIM. He was dismissed by CIM in 1893 as an ‘imposter” after stirring up “Rijnhart’s hornet’s nest." A charismatic speaker, he was lecturing in Canada and soliciting financial support to return to China and work in Tibet when he met Susie. The couple was married in September 1894 and before the end of the year departed Canada for China. Unlike most missionaries, they were independent, not representatives of any missionary organization. Apparently, however, the funds they had raised in Canada were adequate for their expenses. Independent missionaries were often criticized as loose cannons, more likely to cause trouble than to achieve progress in the goal of making China a Christian country.

## On the borders of Tibet

In mid-1895, the Rijnharts and their colleague, William Neil Ferguson, arrived at their destination of Lusar, a small village servicing the Kumbum, one of the largest and most important Tibetan Buddhist monasteries. Kumbum was home to about 3,600 monks. Ferguson parted ways with the Rijnharts after a few months and their nearest Western neighbors were missionaries in Xining, seventeen miles away. The immediate objective of the Rijnharts was to learn Tibetan and work among the Tibetans. Their ultimate ambition was to reach Lhasa, the remote and forbidden capital of Tibet, unvisited by Westerners since 1846. In 1896, a revolt broke out among the Muslim population and Kumbum was in danger of being overrun. Susie and her husband were invited by the monastery to tend to the wounded and sick and subsequently invited to reside at the monastery. Petreus became a friend and confidant of the abbot of the monastery, according to Susie.

In late-summer 1896, the Rijnharts moved to the trading town of Tankar (simplified Chinese: 丹噶尔古城; traditional Chinese: 丹噶爾古城), about 24 miles from Kumbum, to open a medical dispensary. The British traveler, Montagu Sinclair Wellby, passed through Tankar in October 1896 and gave a favorable view of the Rijnharts and their good relations with Chinese officials. They lived a "hard life" dependent upon the small sums they charged for medical services at their dispensary. Petrus left Susie alone in Tankar for several months while he acted as a guide and interpreter for Wellby. In November Susie was visited by explorer Sven Hedin who passed through Tankar. He described Susie as a “bareheaded young lady wearing spectacles and dressed after the Chinese manner…Through her medical knowledge and skill, Mrs. Rheinhard \[*sic*\] had won several friends among the native population.” Shortly after Petreus returned, the couple had a son, Charles Carson, born June 30, 1897.

## The attempt on Lhasa

The Rijnharts, baby Charles, and three local hired men, two Chinese and one Muslim, left Tankar on horseback, May 20, 1898. Their destination was Lhasa, eight hundred miles away as the crow flies but across a series of mountain ranges through passes at elevations of up to 5,000 metres (16,000 ft). They carried with them food and other supplies sufficient for two years as well as several hundred bibles translated into Tibetan. Following a known caravan route to Lhasa, they skirted the Tsaidam and proceeded southwest, roughly following the track a modern highway follows today.

All went well for more than two months until their two Chinese hired men deserted. Shortly thereafter, on August 11, five of their pack animals were stolen. On August 21, the baby Charles died suddenly. They were at this time just north of the district capital of Nagchu, 14,850 feet (4,530 m) in elevation. As they continued Tibetan soldiers tried to persuade them to abandon their quest and return the way they had come. A Tibetan official in Nagchu refused to allow them to continue to Lhasa, only 100 miles further south, or to remain in Nagchu, but insisted they leave Tibet via a caravan route leading to Kangding (Tachienlu), 600 miles to the east. Their reliable Muslim guide departed at this time, with their permission, to journey to his home in Ladakh and they were left alone at the mercy of the Tibetans.

On September 6, in a snow storm, with three guides provided by the Tibetan government, the Rijnharts departed Nagchu on the "tea road" east. On September 17 their little caravan was attacked by bandits. One of their guides was wounded and all their horses except three were stolen. Their guides deserted and they were left alone. They abandoned most of their goods and continued. On September 26, Petrus left Susie behind to seek help from Tibetans camped on the other side of a river. She never saw her husband again. She was left with a revolver and a supply of silver bullion, the currency of the area.

Susie engaged guides to accompany her on the road, but they proved faithless. She threatened them with the revolver to prevent being raped and robbed. She finally arrived at Gyegu (Jyekundo), rested a few days, and there negotiated a passport from the Abbot of a monastery. She then proceeded onwards, crossing a series of mountain ranges, partially on foot and alone, but mostly with an escort of local guides. She arrived in Kangding penniless, in rags, and with frost-bitten feet on November 26, 1898. Kangding at that time was the most remote outpost of Christian missionaries in China. She asked the way to the house of the China Inland Mission and there she introduced herself to missionaries Edward Amundsen and James Moyes, who would later become her second husband.

## Later life

Investigations by the British and Dutch government uncovered no information concerning the fate of Petrus Rijnhart and in 1900 Susie returned to Canada. She wrote a book about her experiences and lectured and in 1902 returned to China, this time to Kangding (Tachienlu), a city on the Sichuan-Tibetan border, with the Foreign Christian Missionary Society. In 1905 she married James Moyes. Because of her former husband’s dismissal from the CIM, Moyes had to resign from the CIM to marry her. Her health failed, and she was replaced by Zenas Sanford Loftis at the Tibetan mission. In 1907 she and her husband returned to Canada. She had a baby, a son, in January 1908 and died on February 7, 1908, in Chatham. James Moyes returned to China in 1911 and in 1915 was working for the American Bible Society in Nanking.

## Importance

Dr. Susie Rijnhart typified the independent and adventurous women, often missionaries, who were beginning to travel the world and practice a variety of professions. Her attempt to reach Lhasa seems to have been as much an adventure gone wrong as it was a Christian pilgrimage. Her book makes no mention of any converts to Christianity the couple made during their four years in China and Tibet. How familiar she was with her first husband’s unsavory past is unknown.

# Tom Valenti

**Tom Valenti** is the Executive Chef at Jockey Hollow Bar and Kitchen in Morristown NJ. Chef Valenti was formerly the owner and Executive Chef of Oxbow Tavern on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. He is the former Executive Chef of Le Cirque Restaurant in Midtown Manhattan, in New York City. Previously, he was Executive Chef and co-owner of Ouest Restaurant on the Upper West Side of Manhattan which shuttered in 2015. The recipient of many awards for his comfortable cooking style, Valenti is best known for his salmon gravlax and slow-cooked meats, particularly braised lamb shanks. Chef Valenti is the author of 3 cookbooks, *"Welcome to my Kitchen", "Soups, Stews and One Pot Meals"* as well as *"You Don't Have to be Diabetic to Love This Cookbook",* dedicated to recipes for diabetic diets. Valenti was the driving force behind the creation of the Windows of Hope Family Relief Fund, established to benefit the surviving family members of foodservice-related victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

## Professional life

### Introduction to haute cuisine

After graduating from high school, Valenti took a job working pastry at a local Ithaca French restaurant, l'Auberge du Cochon Rouge. Exposure to the traditional Escoffier style of French cooking led him to relocate to Rye, New York where he accepted a job as a private chef to a wealthy family. He was free to design the menu as he pleased with the stipulation that the same meal not be repeated for at least 200 days. This job lasted for 2 years until the couple employing him divorced.

Valenti next landed a position at the Greenwich, Connecticut restaurant being opened by famous French chef Guy Savoy. Savoy took note of Valenti's culinary abilities and sent him over to his signature restaurant in Paris, France to further his skills over the next 15 months.

### Gotham Bar & Grill

Upon completion of his internship at Savoy's Paris restaurant, Valenti departed France via Charles de Gaulle Airport where a friend introduced him to Alfred Portale who was returning from his own culinary study period. Shortly after returning to the US, Portale took control of his now famous restaurant, Gotham Bar & Grill, and hired Valenti as his first sous-chef. It was here that Valenti put to use the precision culinary skills he had developed during his time in France. Valenti would remain at Gotham for 2 years.

### Executive Chef

During his time at Gotham, Valenti became friends with the front-of-house manager, Alison Becker. Soon they would collaborate to open *Alison on Dominick*, Valenti's breakout opportunity as Executive Chef. In 1989, *Esquire* magazine called their venture "Best New Restaurant" in New York City. In 1990, *Food & Wine* magazine named Valenti one of the "Ten Best New Chefs" in the country.

In 1994, after 5 years and much critical acclaim, Valenti and Becker parted ways and he assumed the Executive Chef position at Cascabel where he worked for 2 years before taking off some time from the rigors of kitchen work. In 1998, Valenti assumed the lead position at Ken Aretsky's Upper East Side bistro *Butterfield 81.* Critical acclaim was almost immediate. *New York Times* food critic Ruth Reichl declared Valenti a "clairvoyant in the kitchen", describing his "meat-oriented dishes" as "offering exactly what I wanted to eat." *New York* magazine's Gail Greene waxed poetic about the "mythic lamb shanks." Valenti would run the kitchen for 2 years before departing to work on his own venture.

### Ouest

In the spring of 2001, Valenti opened his signature restaurant *Ouest* on the corner of Broadway and 84th street in Manhattan's Upper West Side. The French style menu was reminiscent of his days at Butterfield 81, focused on lesser cuts of meat with bold flavors. A converted dry cleaner store, the "L-shaped" interior layout was remodeled by designer Peter Neimetz, focusing on cozy leather booths and soft lighting with balcony alcoves. *The New York Times* awarded *Ouest* 2 stars, saying that the "main courses drift toward the comfort zone." *New York* magazine, in a 3-star review, declares that "Valenti has honed the menu to the point where almost every dish resonates with love-it-in-an-instant flavors." *Ouest* is frequently credited with bringing haute cuisine to the Upper West Side. Ouest closed it doors on June 13, 2015.

### Oxbow Tavern

In March 2018, Valenti opened "Oxbow Tavern" on Columbus Ave at 71st St in Manhattan's Upper West Side neighborhood.

### Windows of Hope

Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, Valenti assembled his good friends Waldy Malouf of Beacon, Michael Lomonaco of Windows on the World and attorney-restaurant financier David Emil, establishing the Windows of Hope Family Relief Fund dedicated to benefit the surviving family members of victims from the foodservice industry. A "Dine Out" date of October 11, 2001 was established to generate fund contributions. Originally intended as a citywide restaurant response to a need within their community, news of the event soon spread to other cities and eventually over 5,000 restaurants around the world participated in contributing proceeds from that evening to the fund. Corporate sponsors also contributed to Windows of Hope and, in total, over $23 million were raised to help the families in need.

In 2005, Valenti continued his charitable efforts in helping to lead the Restaurants for Relief effort to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina.

### Other ventures

In 2003 Valenti opened 'Cesca at Broadway & 75th Street. The menu, a tribute to the cooking style he learned in his grandmother's kitchen, was decidedly Italian in nature and quickly gained notoriety and acclaim. Valenti ran the kitchen at 'Cesca for 3 years until an egregious decision by his business partner led Valenti to sever their relations, trading his interest in 'Cesca for full control of Ouest.

Valenti holds a small interest in the New York location of Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, a traditional barbecue restaurant situated under the Riverside Drive bridge on 125th St.

On October 28, 2008, Valenti opened his new restaurant *The West Branch* at Broadway and W. 77th St. in New York City. The restaurant was attached to the On The Ave Hotel. This restaurant shuttered in August 2010.

### Signature dishes

### Television

### Books

Valenti has authored several cookbooks, including:

* Tom Valenti: *Welcome to My Kitchen: A New York Chef Shares His Robust Recipes and Secret Techniques* William Morrow Cookbooks, ISBN 978-0-06-019819-0
* Tom Valenti: *Tom Valenti's Soups, Stews, and One-Pot Meals: 125 Home Recipes from the Chef-Owner of New York City's Ouest and 'Cesca*Scribner, ISBN 978-0-7432-4375-9
* Tom Valenti: *You Don't Have to be Diabetic to Love This Cookbook* Workman, ISBN 978-0-7611-5550-8 June 2009

### Awards

## Personal life

### Early life in Ithaca

Valenti was born March 23rd, 1959, in Ithaca, New York to Louis and Aurora Valenti. His father left at an early age and Valenti was raised by his mother and Italian immigrant maternal grandparents. It was after school in his grandmother Nonni's kitchen that Valenti first learned the craft of cooking traditional Italian dishes.

### Fly-fishing in the Catskills

Valenti is described as a chef who "cooks to live", preferring to spend his time fishing the Beaverkill River in Upstate New York where he owns a small seasonal fishing cabin. He exclusively practices catch and release angling.

### Family

Valenti lives in Northern New Jersey with his Maine Coon Cat, Cosmo.

The transmitter for WYDE-FM is located in southeastern Walker County near the border with Jefferson County, about 35 miles northwest of downtown Birmingham, and its studios are located in Homewood.

## Station history

The station signed on in 1997 as a Top 40 station with the call letters **WZJT** and the on-air name *“Party Radio Z-92.5.”* The station was originally owned by the owner and operator of a nightclub in Birmingham. At the time, there was not another Top 40 music station in the Birmingham market, but the location of the station’s transmitter and its weak signal proved to be a hindrance as it sought to establish itself in the area. Within a few months of its debut, the station changed formats and became an active rock station with the new on-air name of *“Planet Rock 92-5”.* The new format was no more successful in attracting listeners than its previous incarnation.

In 2000, the station was sold and became an affiliate of EWTN’s Catholic radio network. The station’s call letters were changed to **WQOP-FM** (*Q*ueen *o*f *P*eace, referring to the Virgin Mary). In 2004, Crawford Broadcasting Company bought the station in order to establish an FM simulcast partner of what was then WDJC (850). After the acquisition, the call letters of the AM and FM stations were changed to WXJC and **WXJC-FM**. The stations offered a combination of Southern gospel music and syndicated Christian teaching programming; as of 2007, the Christian teaching programming continues on WXJC.

In May 2006, WXJC-FM changed its call letters to **WPHC**, changed its format and attempted to launch a country music format. With other country stations such as Birmingham’s WDXB and WZZK and Tuscaloosa’s WTXT and WFFN serving its primary broadcast area, WPHC failed to attract significant listenership. In October of the same year, WPHC adopted its current format. WPHC changed their call letters back to **WXJC-FM**.

On November 5, 2018, WXJC-FM changed their call letters to WYDE-FM and changed their format from southern gospel/talk (which moved to WXJC-FM 101.1 FM Cullman) to inspirational music.

# Wallace Anderson

**William Wallace Anderson** (20 January 1888 – 7 October 1975), invariably known as **Wallace Anderson** or **W. Wallace Anderson**, was an Australian art teacher and sculptor, known for memorials at the Australian War Memorial, Canberra and throughout Victoria.

## History

Anderson was born in Dean, Victoria, third child and twin son of William Anderson, MLA and his wife Helen Glover, née Naples. He was educated at Geelong College and Gordon Technical College, taking art classes part-time with J. R. Tranthim-Fryer (died 13 July 1928) and Charles Richardson, later conducting classes himself. Anderson enlisted with the First AIF in June 1915. His elder brother, Albert Naples Anderson, enlisted in December 1914, fought at Gallipoli and was wounded at Lone Pine. He was repatriated, then in January 1917 re-enlisted with the 8th Light Horse in Egypt and was killed in action in April 1917. Anderson served in France as a lieutenant in the 23rd Battalion, and in 1918 was attached to the Australian War Records Section, London, along with sculptors W. Leslie Bowles and C. Web Gilbert, and toured battlefields in France, Egypt and Palestine, making sketches and notes for later reference.

In 1920 he returned to Melbourne, working for the Australian War Museum, Canberra, producing the intricate figures for several of the battlefield dioramas, then from 1930 was engaged in work for other clients. Well-known public pieces include:

Anderson was a member of the Australian Academy of Art, Australian Sculptors' Society, Victorian Artists Society, and the Victorian Sculptors' Society, and exhibited regularly.

## Family

Anderson married Gladys Ada Andrews (died 25 September 1952) on 6 May 1916.

They had a son Rod Anderson and daughters Lucie Cleary and Joy Bleakley.
