context_page_description: Solomon Andrews was a British entrepreneur and head of the Solomon Andrews and Son bus and tram-operating company, based in Cardiff.
context_section_description: In 1894 he purchased an area near Arthog consisting of several farms. He developed three terraces of houses, including St Mary's Terrace, Arthog Terrace, and Mawddach Crescent. 
  Mawddach Crescent was a row of properties overlooking the Mawddach estuary. The Crescent was connected to Barmouth Junction railway station by the short-lived Barmouth Junction and Arthog Tramway which he constructed. Andrews intended this to be the start of a purpose-built holiday resort but the surrounding land proved unsuitable for further construction. In 1941, during the Second World War, the Crescent was commandeered by the Royal Marines. It was renamed Camp Iceland and used as a training facility.
  St Mary's Terrace in Arthog was also served by the Barmouth Junction and Arthog Tramway.
