A collection of photographs which don't (at the moment) fit on the blog, or for which I haven't enough information about. The selection will increase as time goes on, so please check back.

The Diffwys pit above Blaenau Ffestiniog. In the distance is the Rhiwbach No. 3 incline head and beyond that, Moel Penamnen.

The main mill with remains of overhead conveyors.

The smithy.

This is the powder house, a classic example with a low wall around.

Above are some photos of Hafod Las slate quarry, above Betws y Coed. It's a fascinating site although best visited in the winter as the undergrowth is beyond a joke.
