HWW! Same mill as www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/44036188 Site Description The impressive three-storeyed Ynys-y-pandy slate processing works, which served the Gorseddau Quarry, was built in 1856-7 by Evan Jones of Garndolbenmaen and probably designed by James Brunlees. It is ingeniously planned so that the natural fall of the site assisted the manufacturing process. A deep trench inside accommodated a large overshot water wheel (26 ft, 8m in diameter), and on the south side a long curving ramp brought branches of the tramway from Gorseddau Quarry into the mill at two different levels, serving the middle and upper floors. The grand, round-headed openings are closely spaced like a Roman aqueduct. The eastern gable is surmounted by a decorative feature incorporating a false shimney stack, and the west gable windows have at some time had window frames or shutters. Otherwise the construction is bold and plain but none the less impressive. Also see that Turkish sheep have much longer ears than ours!! www.ipernity.com/doc/2247842/51340080

Some strange custom!! HFF!! From what I understand it is part of an old tradition called 'Wassailing' to be nice to the trees so they produce more fruit. www.hymnsandcarolsofchristmas.com/Hymns_and_Carols/Notes_On_Carols/wassailing.htm www.nationaltrust.org.uk/features/ritual-and-revelry-the-story-of-wassailing

These were designed to burn Welsh Steam Coal, but the cheap imported stuff we get these days doesn't burn so hot, hence the smoke.
