Information |
Foel Quarry was in operation from around the 1830s to the 1880s. The slate quarry and slab works was located around the 450m contour on the north-eastern flank of Carnedd Moel Siabod (872m). A series of tramways and inclines for transporting the finished products led down to Pont Cyfyng, the bridge over the Afon Llugwy on the eastern side of Capel Curig.

My favorite part is the look of the water in the first photo…so still looking and yet rippled. 🙂

Thanks, CW. The water there seemed very black… wonder how deep the pit was.
