View from Bell Yard
The establishment of Penmaenmawr quarry was very closely integrated with the town until relatively recently. At this point the old incline and subsequent conveyors passed behind the manager's house at Bell Yard on the way down to sea level. A derelict supporting pier survives amid the burgeoning Valerian which thrives on the old walls.

Rear of Erasmus Street
The steep terrain makes construction difficult! These stone-built terraces were originally constructed for the quarry workers at a time when that was the only industry in the town. This is a view of the backs, more interesting than the front, but possibly less flattering.

Front of David Street
The south-facing, odd-numbered side of David Street, showing the neatly-built stone terrace. The camber on the road is extreme, as indicated by the red van.

The preserved entrance to the former Berth Chapel
The main building has been demolished but interdenominational Welsh services are held in the former vestry to the rear. The chapel is now known as Eglwys y Berth ("bush church"). The Graig Lwyd granite quarry can be seen on the mountain above.

Afternoon shadows
Penmaenmawr is afforded deep shade by the high, steep hills to the south, so the sun does not shine in Winter. Brilliant illumination in Conwy Bay gives good contrast against the chimneys of nearby terraces, while the Great Orme appears to float in the sky which is reflected in the still sea. The road leads up to the quarry's weighbridge.
