200 mm of Snow and then some on Halkyn Common, Pant Quarry to the right of the photograph. The snow flakes had grown to a spectacular size, and it was jolly cold too.

This was taken shortly before it was demolished. It belongs to the heyday of mining in the 1930's on Halkyn Mountain. Is that the same 'tin shed' on the far left?

Frozen pond Pant Quarry
Ice a foot thick has provided a splendid slide for the Halkyn Common children by the entrance to Pant quarry 850 feet above sea level. Molly the dog was not too impressed though, she prefers water and muck.
