River Adda (Wales)

River Adda (Wales)

The River Adda is a small watercourse which flows, for the most part culverted, through the city of Bangor, Wales. The name is said to be of 19th century origin, derving from a field Cae Mab Adda ("the field of the son af Adam") close to its source. Its earlier name was "Tarannon". [Gwynedd O.
