Quarry Incline

Whilst out and about seeking limekilns I happened upon these pillars for the brake drum of a self-acting incline. After a bit of research it appears that this was for a line serving the Bryngwyn limestone quarry to the south of Gwernymynydd. Map evidence suggests that it was built after 1914 and abandoned by 1940. Stone was taken down to a loading bank close to the main road in the village.
