This is Corris in about 1978 from Mynydd Fronfelen. The village's foundation was slate mining in the 19th C. The main road (top left) has just been rebuilt: during that process slate tips slowly weathering back to nature were bulldozed, and a certain amount of industrial heritage destroyed. At the time it was referred to as 'cosmetic landscaping'.
