Dinorwig
This photograph shows part of the former slate quarrying village of Dinorwig. Since the closure of the quarry, many of the houses have been purchased by outsiders, some for use as holiday homes, and most have undergone a programme of renovation. The house in the foreground is Ty Newydd. Two of the three places of worship, Capel Dinorwig (Calv.Meth.) (middleground), and Y Santes Fair (Church in Wales), (background, left) have been converted into dwellings. Sardis, Wales' highest chapel, (skyline, right), is still used for services.

Chwarel Fawr Quarry
This is one of the oldest quarries in the district. Its mill dates back to the 1830s. In later times it was worked in tandem with Allt Ddu Quarry. Up to the 1960s Chwarel Fawr was a deep flooded pit next to the main road which had been diverted to go round it. In the 1980s the whole site was landscaped with the waste tips being fed into the pit and the diverted main road, now straightened, runs across where the pit used to be.
