Granite quarry industrial archaeology

High up in the Penmaenmawr quarries a line of granite dressing sheds turns its back to the sea and the prevailing winds. Beyond stands the roofless locomotive shed with its rusty water tank. Outside are the sad remains of a De Winton vertical boilered locomotive abandoned here many years ago. This is a fascinating and difficult place to access but very rewarding to anyone with an interest in industrial archaeology who is prepared to make the climb.
