DRE NEWYDD

Chwarel Dinorwig Quarry, Eryri.

Dre Newydd also later became known as Anglesey Barracks because of the high proportion of Anglesey quarry workers that lodged there during the week. The houses were built in the 1870's, in two rows of 11, facing each other across a street. They show us what living conditions were like for quarrymen from outside of the local area.

 

Each of the small houses had a living room and bedroom. The rent was one shilling a month. Usually, members of the same family lived together and worked on the same team in the quarry.

 

The houses had few sources of comfort. Furniture was scant and basic. They were lit by candlelight or paraffin lamp. Although electricity was introduced at the quarry in 1905, it was not fitted in the barracks. The men had an open coal fire for heating and cooking. After paying for the coal at Gilfach Ddu they carried it home up the steep incline.

 

The barracks were particularly cold during the winter months as the gaps between the slates meant the quarrymen had little protection against the elements. The men also had to share their home with pests like fleas and rats.

 

The houses had no plumbing, so water had to be fetched from the nearest stream. In later years, a large tap was installed in a shared area outside to serve all of Dre Newydd’s houses. There were no indoor flushable toilets. The men shared two outdoor toilets known as ‘privies’. They were earth toilets that were emptied regularly.

 

The men shared household duties, such as keeping the coal supply well stocked, cleaning the grate and fetching water. One person would have been responsible for waking everyone in time for work and the first man returning back after work would make and light the fire.

 

Dre Newydd was lived in until 1937 when the houses were condemned as being unfit for human habitation.
