Rhosydd Barracks

The long abandoned Barracks and Mill buildings of Rhosydd Quarry in the Moelwyn mountains of North Wales on a changeable day last September. A break in the heavy cloud allowed a burst of sunlight through that lit up the shiny slate rubble to make it look a bit like water. The dark buildings stood out against the lower slopes of Foel Ddu. The history of the place is described well on Wikipedia - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhosydd_quarry, and here - historypoints.org/index.php?page=rhosydd-quarry-barracks-.... It i fair to say this must have been a hard place to work!
