I have been trying (somewhat unsuccessfully) to find some information/history on the quarry which lies on the flank of Moel Siabod (The highest one).

There seems to be some evidence that there was a mine there but I can find nothing to support that theory.

Does anyone have a link to anything useful please ?

(I have been googling for ages :blink: :blink: )

Fanks !

Thanks guys ... I have struggled with the on-line gazette thingy as the links don't provide anything but I will try to get hold of a paper copy.

Muchas Gracias 😉
