The site of Olwyn Goch - 1980's

The big wheelpit to the right of the tip is the site of Olwyn Goch - the great waterwheel seen in many Victorian photos. It both pumped and wound in the Sinc Y Mynydd part of the quarry via a shaft which descended to floor 2 from a site just about the right edge of the frame.
