A private road linking Lord Street and the old L&NWR station
The litter would suggest that no one these days takes a blind notice of a monolingual, English, sign which makes it plain that this is not a public thoroughfare. In reality it is the bottom end of the incline linking Bowydd Quarry with the old L&NWR station.

Waste tip from the Maen-offeren slate quarry
This huge hillside of slate provides a good view south-west over Blaenau Ffestiniog rooftops and the Tanygrisiau Reservoir beyond. A totally grey scene.

Derelict incline to Maenofferen Quarry
It was difficult to place this photo because so much of the landscape has been changed. However this is the view looking up the incline to Rhiwbach & Maenofferen Quarries. Slate wagons would be hauled up & down, & at the base formed into trains for transportation down the Ffestiniog Rly to the harbour at Porthmadog or to Minffordd for transhipment to the GWR. The houses on the right are in Bodafon Terrace, the bridge carrying the road to them has been removed & the cutting filled in.
