'Frozen in time'
A view of the derelict Rhiw Bach slate quarry at Cwm Penmachno. The small pool on the right was frozen solid. It's hard to imagine when you look at images like this; and more importantly when you're at the locations, how awful the conditions would have been for the slate workers who were here over one hundred and fifty years ago. I count myself so lucky every time that these people led the way and gave us all a lifestyle that we've become accustomed to. The chimney was the part of the wheelhouse whilst the remains of the buildings on the right hand side were a large dressing shed.
