Cwm Dwyfor works buildings
The folly at the end of the Gorseddau Tramway. The old formation wanders delightfully via a small slate slab bridge to the mine buildings at this top level. These mostly date from 1876 and are, of course, ruinous but picturesque. A massively constructed masonry wheelpit is the first structure encountered (41ft) with the crusher house remains alongside. There's also a barracks and a crazy magazine. Various other structures are mysterious, perhaps a winder house...all structures have been buttressed in one way or another, perhaps due to the boggy ground.
