Penmachno to the miners village. 12
Winding drum. They were powered by gravity, the weight of the full slate wagon going down provided the power to pull the empty wagon back up the incline. HDR.
The brake assembly regulated the speed wagons on the incline. All winding drums are to the same design all over North Wales, somebody did the sums to calculate the best diameter for the drum, I
wonder who the designer was.
Last view before we go over the top.
Part of the village in the valley. HDR.

Walk around Rhiwbach quarry 8.
Today we leave the village and arrive at the lake. This was once a quarry but filled with water when no longer in use. The water was then piped further down the valley to power the slate cutting machinery in the dressing sheds at the Penmachno quarry.
The back way out of the village.
If you look at the ruin right at the back you will notice the holes in the wall that supported beams. This must have been a two story building which is unusual, maybe it housed the school and shop.
Mother nature busy reclaiming another building.
