Only a 10minute piece about living at Cwmorthin.
Interesting though and worth catching on Iplayer if its possible

Ta! Would have missed that otherwise.

Couldn't help thinking they didn't try very hard with their camerawork, some morning / evening sequences would have been nice.

my orders are to sit here and watch the world go by

Yeh but the brief interviews with the couple of people who lived up there were worthwhile.
Especially the man who worked in Cwmorthin from the age of 16

Cheers Jagman! :flowers:

I'd where some of the archive shots were from - I'd guess Penrhyn or Dinorwic?

I've seen those shots before, the blasted rocks are Dinorwig and the guys using the crane are at Oakeley - or so we are led to believe!

This was half decent viewing, great ariel shots of Barmouth and brief reference to the small mines around Mawdach estuary
