Cambrian Quarry
This view of the disused quarry shows the pronounced easterly dip of the strata. The target of extraction was originally a pure bed of sandstone known as the Cefn y Fedw Sandstone, of Carboniferous (Namurian) age, which was used for the manufacture of Vim scouring powder. In more recent time, the underlying, finely bedded, pink and grey-coloured sandstones were extracted.
