Slate piles, Braich quarry
Some of this may just be waste material, but some is definitely 'built' and may represent the ruins of old buildings. Such areas are fascinating, even when one has little idea about the history or layout of the place.

Flooded pit at Braich slate quarry
A large, and reputedly deep pool at the long abandoned Braich slate quarry above Y Fron. The date of the quarry hole is unknown, but is shown on the OS 6" map of 1888.

Ruined building at Braich quarry
This once large building is shown on 19thC OS maps, though unnamed. The map gives enough clues as to suggest that this was a large dressing area and that a tramway existed running from the far end of the building towards an incline to take the finished slates down towards the standard gauge line at the base of the hills.

Y Fron village street
Y Fron is a linear village with houses lining this road and one other. The road here was once shared with a tramway carrying slate from nearby quarries, eventually meeting a railway line for transport to Caernarfon dock. There's a primary school here [hidden to the right of the parked cars], a bus service [note the green shelter], but I failed to see a shop. The background is dominated by the bulky shape of Mynydd Mawr.
